Summary

This chapter outlines the steps needed to rebuild a culture of repair. The same tools firms enlist to stifle repair can be used to reinvigorate it. Laws can be rewritten, markets reorganized, designs reconfigured, and norms reshaped. From tax incentives and spare part mandates to design standards and warranty protections, an array of policy interventions should be undetaken. But at the same time, we have to change our attitudes and behaviors as consumers.
