Autonomy

"We can solve the problems of remoteness [from production] by developing communities which are self-reliant. This is not the same as total self-sufficiency; there will always be a need for some trade with other communities and other parts of the world. Self-reliant communities are ones where producing goods locally for local needs is the norm rather than the exception, where travel outside the community is a pleasure rather than a daily economic necessity and where people are more than cogs in vast machines."
