A person who advocates for or believes in autarky; someone who supports economic self-sufficiency and independence from international trade.
From autarky + -ist suffix denoting an advocate of a policy or system, following patterns like 'isolationist' or 'protectionist.'
Autarkists were most prominent in 1930s-40s political movements, where they argued that self-sufficiency would prevent economic manipulation and war—an idealistic but practically impossible goal.
