Now, the article explicitly bashes self-sufficiency, so I guess it's just a matter of which viewpoint you subscribe to.
I think that any viable theory of "dropping out" will take market forces into account. I find that this article does some of that, though it seems to me that it doesn't go far enough. (In particular, he notes that trying to do what you love resulting in doing what you no longer love. Market forces can explain this one quite handily!)
Also, "find a partner who will support you," is exactly what my mom did. Being a homemaker and mother is a legitimate full time job, one which our society should highly prize. Anyone who says otherwise is inattentive or hasn't really thought things through.
...and therefore not "dropping out", right?
And I'm not arguing with you, by the way. There was just something about the article's tone that ticked me off :)
