Is this word being used correctly?
au·tar·ky /ˈôˌtärkē/ noun economic independence or self-sufficiency. "rural community autarchy is a Utopian dream" a country, state, or society which is economically independent. plural noun: autarkies; plural noun: autarchies
that's what I thought
But which word did he mean instead? It seems it should a synonym for "coterie".
