Neosubsistence
Definition
Defined by Marcin Jakubowski:
"Neosubsistence: The combination of advanced material and information
technologies introduces a new economic option that we call
neosubsistence. This is modern day means to livelihood where wise use
of advanced technology and ready access to information allows one to
spend a small amount of time in self-sufficiency production. This
leads to a high quality of life where higher skill provides more
resources in-house, reduces the need to 'work to make a living,' and
opens up time for other pursuits. It is a route to promoting a
bioregional economy, which relies more on its own resources rather
than uncontrollable global market forces. This promotes accountability
and reduces the necessity of war."
