*** MODES

Common to all listed goods should be that they are comparatively:
    * economic (cheap)
    * easy available
    * higher quality
    * sensible/scalable to transport
... in a specific location.


A) Essentials

Goods for self-use & interrior non-profit distribution:
    spices, contact lens fluid, aloe vera, laptops, cigarettes, alcohol, ...


B) Gifts

Cute & rare & relatively economic goods (for friends, hosts, etc):
    local artisan chocolate, souvenirs, natural obscurities, ...


C) Re-Distribution

Goods that can be sold at a profit (as easy as possible to "get rid of").

Needed:
    * capital for stock
    * storage capacity
    * universal redistributors (at scale):
        as much variety as possible, to offload any goods
    * [...]

*** PAD


"Main research direction" ?

    try 1):
        If something is produced somewhere, in some territory
        And the territory has some specific property (geographic, social/economic, ...)
        Then there is a good chance, there will be specific types of product / service available to export to other places

    try 2):
        Globalisation very much erased "opportunity" for small-scale mercantilism
        However, specific types of source items ["authentic", hand-crafted, ... fast developing like tech gadgets]
        ... in specific localities [less reached by globalism - like Canaries]
        ... might present this opportunity
