| 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."
