Very few people in the United States today attempt to follow the example of Henry David Thoreau in On Walden Pond and "go into the woods to live simply, producing by my own hands all that is necessary for life."

Economists explain this by saying:

a. There are not enough woods for everyone to live there.

b. Being self-sufficient dramatically reduces one’s standard of living.

c. More people prefer to live in large cities.

e. There are no attractive aspects of living quietly in remote areas.
