The flaws of the industrial economy can be corrected by means of agrarianism, a radical idea that espouses a local economy based on land. Small landowners are the key figures of an agrarian economy, and they maintain a significant level of self-determination on a small acreage. The extent and independence of land possession indicate intimate care in the use of land as well as political democracy based on economic democracy. A local economy, therefore, promotes a substantial level of self-sufficiency among agrarians.
