Question:

Will an ironic result of globablization be people forced to depend on their local community for resources?

by | earlier

In other words, do you see a future where people are less and less dependent on interstate/international goods and more dependent on locally grown food, products, services. Kind of like a Neo-Agrarian/Industrial society, where people don't have to travel far to work (and thus lessen dependence on any type of fuel) and can get all of their needs met through local providers?

Sounds like a great concept but the politicians, oil magnets, corporate executives, etc., would not stand for this because it would negatively impact their lifestyle.

Sorry but the people are like sheep being led over a cliff.

I don't think it will happen unless we run out of fossil fuels and don't have another type of energy to replace them.

I think it's exactly what would happen if we didn't have cars or transportation vehicles for goods, though.  It would be better if people moved that direction now, but we're too dependent on prices made possible by exploitation of developing nations and a suburban/urban sprawl lifestyle right now for that.

I'd assume that in most non Western countries, autonomous communities are much more common though.
