Moe, the concept of self-sufficiency sounds great. BUT it is hard to understand how hauling everyone into agriculture(full time or PT) would result to self-sufficiency. Sometimes, concepts like "self-sufficiency" are too grandiose for little minds like mine to understand. What do they mean, when they say self-sufficiency
Economist often claim that the division of labor and trade makes everyone better off. Which implies that, if the whole civil service starts farming, we'll have less variety to trade and thus be worse off.
We already have too many people in agriculture, those people should be encouraged/supported to mechanize. NO self-sufficient-what ever that means- country has more than 90 percent of their population practicing manual agriculture.
Plowing civil servants volunteers into a sector they are clearly less productive in, will only clog that sector while weakening others.
Specialization and variety is always good...Jacks of all trades, always cause disasters.
If Oga professor carefully listened to his christian educators; he'd have heard bible say, "man shall not live on bread alone." |
