I've often mused on the tension, the dichotomy with homesteading and
community. If everyone is self-reliant and largely self-sufficient,
then we need each other less. Of course there are still those crafts
and skills that most of us are not good at or even much interested in
doing.
Anyone know of a study or a book that explores the effect on community
that self-reliance creates?
