​Local economy

Been thinking about this idea for awhile. I hate how much our lives depend on people who don’t know us. Wondering if it’s at all possible for a community to have a mostly self reliant economy (obviously can’t be fully self reliant nowadays). Basically an economy that isn’t affected by outside factors/ government. Anyone else ever think about this or know how this could be achieved?
