> “If economics is reconceived in the service of community, it will
begin with a concern for agriculture and specifically for the production of
food. This is because a healthy community will be a relatively
self-sufficient one. A community’s dependency on outsiders for its mere
survival weakens it. It is often unable to develop the policies it desires
for the sake of its own members, since its survival depends on terms
dictated by others. The most fundamental requirement for survival is food.
Hence, how and where food is grown is foundational to an economics for
community.”
