Garchi o'z-o'zini ta'minlash siyosati aslida siyosiy maqsadlar ko'zlangan bir qator choralarni o'zida mujassam etgan bo'lsa-da, bu siyosatning tarafdorlari uni mamlakat iqtisodiyotining asosiy negizi deb hisoblaydilar. Bu negiz shunda jamlanadiki, xomashyo, kimyoviy moddalar, mashinalar va ishchi kuchiga ega bo'lgan davlat omon qola olishi kerak. Bu yerda hal qiluvchi masala tashkilotchilikdir. Kapital esa ikkinchi darajali ahamiyatga ega. Siyosiy dasturni hukumat o'zi tanlaydi va iqtisodiy hamda moliyaviy boshqaruvni shu dasturga bo'ysundiradi. O'z-o'zini ta'minlash siyosatining maqsadiga erishishi, ya'ni mahalliy iqtisodiyotning o'z-o'zini ta'minlay olishi uchun hukumat ko'plab ehtiyojlaridan voz kechishga tayyor bo'lishi kerak, chunki bu siyosat mamlakatni barcha ehtiyojlarini qondirishga qodir bo'lmay qo'yishi mumkin. Bu siyosat uchun muhim narsa faqat mahalliy iqtisodiyotga tayangan holda, shaxsning, millatning va davlatning asosiy ehtiyojlarini qondira olishdir, bu esa mamlakatni yuksalish yo'liga yo'naltirishi kerak. Shu sababli, tashqi savdoda o'z-o'zini ta'minlash siyosatini olib boradigan davlat xomashyo, bozorlar, ishchi kuch, mutaxassislar va boshqalarni olish uchun zarur bo'lgan mamlakatlarni o'ziga qo'shib olishga majbur bo'ladi. Bu qo'shib olish yo bevosita birlashtirish, yo savdo shartnomalari shaklida amalga oshadi. Iqtisodiy chegaralarni bekor qilishga kelsak, bu mamlakatni qo'shib olishni, ya'ni siyosiy chegaralarni bekor qilishni anglatadi, chunki siyosiy chegaralarni bekor qilmasdan turib iqtisodiy chegaralarni bekor qilish mumkin emas. Agar davlat o'zida yetishmayotgan materiallarni olish uchun kerakli mamlakatlarni qo'shib ola olmasa, u holda ba'zi ehtiyojlarini qondirmasdan chidashga harakat qilishi, shu bilan birga asosiy zarur narsalar tanqisligiga yo'l qo'ymaslikka intilishi kerak, chunki bunday holatda u chidab tura olmaydi, lekin asosiy bo'lmagan narsalar yetishmasligiga esa chidash mumkin.
Although the policy of self-sufficiency represented in fact a host of measures which had political aims, the champions of such policy deem that it represents a fundamental economic basis, which is summarised in the fact that a country who possesses raw materials, chemicals, machines and manpower, should be able to survive. The point at hand would be organisation. As for capital, this is secondary. It is the government which chooses for itself a political program, to which they submit the economic and financial management. In order for the policy of self-sufficiency to achieve its aim, which would be to render the local economy able to be self-sufficient, the government should be prepared to manage without many of it’s needs; because the policy of self-sufficiency would make a country unable to fulfil all her needs. What is important for this policy is to be able to fulfil the basic needs of the individual, the nation and the State while relying exclusively on the local economy, in a manner that would set her in an upward trend. Therefore, the State which operates a policy of self-sufficiency in foreign trade would be obliged to annexe the countries she would need in order to acquire raw materials, markets, manpower, and experts etc. This annexation would either take the form of a direct merger, or that of commercial treaties. As for the abolition of economic frontiers, this would mean annexing the country i.e. abolishing the political borders, for it would be impossible to abolish economic borders without the abolishment of the political borders. If the State could not annexe the countries that she needs in order to acquire the materials she lacks, she should in this case persevere without fulfilling some of her needs, while aiming to avoid a shortage of basic necessities, for in such a case she would not be able to persevere, whereas lacking non basic necessities could be afforded.
