Indeed, Ralph Borsodi, one of the original “back to the landers” focused on the same things, and found them integrally necessary to human freedom and flourishing as well as ecological sustainability. However, Ralph Borsodi was also interested in economy beyond the walls of the home, and out in the wider community.
