Natural Economic Activity comprises any and all actions by individuals
which aids their survival in the way they see best.  Producing,
trading, holding, selling, bartering, moving -- or not doing any of these
things -- within a system agreed to by all the participants in the
action.  It is based on the simple concepts of labor, risk and profit.  
Which themselves are based on the right to survival.  Work entails
these three elements and they are the means for survival.  If there
were no government, no religions, no states, no artificial
interferences -- there would still be work. And with work comes
labor, risk and profit.  Even the most primitive Amazon tribe has an
economy.  

     This natural activity is simply the reality that none of us can
survive alone.  Ultimately we need the cooperation of others.  What
work is actually done is irrelevant, the only thing that matters is that
whenever just two people get together there is some level of
economic activity between the two.  The things which are most
related to survival, like food and shelter, are the first things which
will be attended to.  These are the most basic of the natural
activities.  

     As more people are added to the mix the complexity will naturally
grow.  This complexity serves to hide the fundamental truth -- all that
we work for is related to our survival.  Every single thing produced
today is meant to procure, at the very core of its purpose, our
survival through food and shelter.  Transporting foods requires ships
and toil and ports and a system of law -- but these activities only
serve to produce sufficient amounts of food for our survival.  

     In every single case of new-found peace and prosperity in a place
there is an immediate increase in the economic activity dedicated to
better and more food and shelter.  

     The best example of natural economic activity today is actually
the so-called black market.  This underground economy is a vestige of
the inherent instinct of people to provide what they want with the
amount of work required.
