Introduction
This wiki is dedicated to the development of a basic and robust infrastructure for a New Village economy, as embodied in the list of the 28 of the above products and services. Such a village is by design
- one which promotes the highest autonomy and freedom
- grounded in self-sufficiency
- dedicated to voluntary pursuits, right livelihood, and quality of life
The basic assumption for a New Village economy is that humans are capable of transcending struggle for survival and resource conflicts, where this preoccupation is replaced by higher pursuits, as indicated by Maslow's pyramid.
The selection of 28 products is based on
- Essential goods and services of wide use
- Provision of a robust village economy
- Generative nature of the product, thus enabling self-replication of the village
