Resources[edit]
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; production in excess of consumption is to be solf. This gives rise to the problems according to the three conditions of the availability of resources: abundance, scarcity, and nonrenewable resources.
Scarce and nonrenewable resources[edit]
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[edit]
The philosophy holds that the rich can consume as many resources as they like so long as their consumption does not incur debt, and that the poor should consume resources without borrowing.
