Does the general usage of the term "self-employment" really correlate solely to capitalism & consumerism...?

I understand that the article is in need of a rewrite, but as I am not an expert on the subject, I'm not even sure what it's supposed to be. Frankly, I'm amazed that an article on "Self-employment" could remain so deprived of attention for so long... Hmm... I'm not really sure how to phrase my thoughts, as I'm very unfamiliar with this, but I would certainly appreciate more clarification... 98.67.111.134 (talk) 18:02, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
