  • Individualistic economic practices
  • Individualism as a restriction of effectiveness

Nature

An extreme emphasis on the importance of self-sufficiency causes the individual to underestimate his interdependence with others across the world. Education, welfare programmes, international relations and ethics all share this extreme position, blinding individual and social relations alike to the fact that interdependence is equally important as self-sufficiency.
