#autarky

• Autarkic — Based on autarky, relating to a closed economic or political system within which a community, region, or state ensures its total independence by exclusively consuming goods produced inside its own borders, refusing or minimizing external trade and imports. In an ancient philosophical sense, it describes a state of spiritual self-sufficiency and full moral independence of the individual in relation to external factors.
• Autarky — A state or economic policy of a state or community aiming for absolute self-sufficiency and total independence from the outside, by domestically producing all resources necessary for subsistence and development; the voluntary absence of international trade relations. In ancient Greek philosophy (Cynics, Stoics), the concept represents the virtue of being master of one's own life, freed from material desires dependent on others.
• Autarkism — A school of political or philosophical thought derived from the principle of autarky, which promotes and justifies the deliberate isolation of a community or state and its organization on strict bases of self-sufficiency; a doctrine that places absolute independence from external influences, resources, and markets as the supreme value for preserving structural identity and sovereignty.
• Autarky — A graphical variant inspired by Germanic or Anglo-Saxon spelling for the term 'autarhie'; it denotes the state of a completely closed and independent economic system, structurally configured to ensure its subsistence exclusively from its own resources, without relying on imports or assistance from international markets.
• Self-sufficiency — The capacity of an individual, community, state, or system to ensure total independence by satisfying material and functional needs through own resources. In psychology, the term often defines an exaggerated state of self-satisfaction, spiritual complacency, or infatuation that blocks openness to the environment and the desire for self-improvement.
