The whole quote here is "Self-reliance in food is meaningless unless people have access to land, information, and financial resources. So in recent years it has come to encompass appropriate legal and financial strategies, including strategies for land access, business structures, and regional self-financing. This way it is a whole human system." - and it was as true when Bill Mollison said it as it is now.

"We are beings of language, speaking the world into being & trapping it in the written word. We have created constancy where there is only temporality. We have even created individuals where there are only relationships. When it comes to money, we consider ourselves alchemists, creating something out of nothing. But the world of words falls away under the pressure of reality, whether we see it or not. Some of us fall with it. Some of us retreat. Some of us scramble for different words. Some of us scream. Almost none of us stop to look."
