Autarky. Economic self-sufficiency. That is, a country has autarky when it does not need to engage in any sort of international trade. Rather, it produces all of its goods and services within the country. Autarky is rare in the modern world, but some examples include Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge and India prior to 1991.
Chutzpah (pron.: /ËhÊtspÉ/ or /ËxÊtspÉ/[1][2]) is the quality of audacity, for good or for bad. The Yiddish word derives from the Hebrew word á¸¥utspÃ¢(×Ö»×¦Ö°×¤Ö¸Ö¼×), meaning insolence or audacity. The modern English usage of the word has taken on a broader meaning, having been popularized through vernacular use in film, literature, and television. The word is sometimes interpreted -- particularly in business parlance -- as meaning the amount of courage, mettle or ardor that an individual has.
