"From the point of view of Buddhist economics production from local
resources for local needs is the most rational way of economic life, while
dependence on imports from afar and the consequent need to produce for
export to unknown and distant peoples is highly uneconomic and justifiable
only in exceptional cases and on a small scale."
----- E. F. Schumacher, "Buddhist Economics"

"Starting with the economies of food and farming, we should promote at
home,
and encourage abroad, the ideal of local self-sufficiency. We should
recognize that this is the surest, the safest, and the cheapest way for the
world to live. We should not countenance the loss or destruction of any
local capacity to produce the necessary goods."
----- Wendell Berry, "Thoughts in the Presence of Fear"
