Resource
Self-sufficiency economy (Localism) offers the idea of limited production in order to protect the environment and conserve scarce resources. Production should be aimed at individual consumption; the excess of the consumption will be for sale. This gives rise to the problems according to the three conditions of the availability of resources: abundance; scarcity; and nonrenewable resources.
Scarce resources and nonrenewable resources
The philosophy emphasizes these two conditions of the availability of resources. The philosophy implies that resources and production are for individual consumption, and the excess of the consumption would be for sale.
Social class and resource consumption
The philosophy holds that the rich can consume as much resources as they like as long as their consumption does not incur debt, and the poor should consume resources without borrowing.
