A paradoxical label for those who argue that Thoreau’s self‑reliance, hard work, and entrepreneurial spirit (he made pencils) align with free‑market principles. Thoreauvian capitalism celebrates small‑scale, local, artisanal production—the [independent] farmer, the craftsman, the homesteader—as models of virtuous enterprise. It rejects corporate capitalism, wage labour, and [consumerism], calling instead for a world of self‑employed individuals trading surplus goods with neighbours. In practice, it often overlaps with [libertarianism] and homesteading movements, though Thoreau himself was no fan of commerce.
