 The flows of valuables is structured by protocols, rules ([[ex. governance]]), [[infrastructure]], [[current-sees]], incentives, etc. These things are context dependent.
 In short, the local conditions in which a production system is embedded determines the possible value systems, which determine the organizational structure required to make production efficient and productive.

-Some ''value systems'' are in most part abstractions. A cult or a sect is built on a ''value system''. Apart from tangible [[benefits]] from being part of a tight group, a large part of the ''value system'' is purely immaterial, subjective, even illusory.

-''Value systems'' have a large influence on socioeconomic [[organizations]]. Throughout history societies have been structured by their underlying ''value systems''. For example, the transition from feudalism to the industrial era, characterized by an increase in economic freedom and democracy, was greatly influenced by the discovery of new means of production (steam engine-driven manufacturing) relying on new types of [[resources]] (coal and petrol). The new possibilities in [[production]] coincided with new means of [[distribution]] (steam engine-driven ships), and exchange systems ([[currencies]] and [[markets]]), new institutions (the corporation, financial institutions, clearing houses, insurance institutions), new social [[governance]] (parliamentary democracy, republic, etc.),, etc.. In short, these new means of [[production]] unleashed huge transformative processes.

 Recently, archaeologists uncovered forgotten civilizations dating from the bronze age, that were politically highly centralized, with powerful armies. Historians believe that the socioeconomic structure of these civilizations was greatly influenced by the nature of the raw material (copper) and by the processes required for its extraction and transformation into goods (bronze tools and weapons), which were the main source of their development and wealth. These communities had to defend the rare and prized resource (copper), and the knowledge and know how required for its transformation, therefore they had to build large armies that could only be effective at that time under a central command. Moreover, turning copper into bronze tools was very lobar-intensive. These communities had to develop ways to sustain large numbers of workers.

 Abundance or scarcity of [[resources]], the amount of work required to extract and to transform raw [[resources]] into valuable artifacts, the efficiency of the [[production]] [[process]], the efficiency and costs related to the distribution of [[products]], the lifetime of the [[product]], all these factors and others determine the structure of the ''value system'' and in turn determine the set of relations that get established between [[agents]] within the ''value systems'', who try to reach a compromise between optimizing their ''value system'' and improving their lives.
-The Internet era introduces a series of new possibilities that operate profound transformations into our global ''value systems''. Human resources go from scarce to abundant, because it is now possible to reach everyone across the planet with a computer and a connection to the Internet for information and knowledge-based work.
