- Provides an analysis of the concept of thrift throughout various eras of Western history. It's an in-depth examination of how the concept has played out in its moral, religious, ethical, spiritual and philosophical expressions. The work that went into the book involves a variety of case studies that aid understanding of how thrift has been used to encourage and discourage certain economic behaviours throughout history, from the Puritans to the Victorians and most recently the ecologically concerned. This provides a greater depth of examination and insight into a specific concept, providing an analysis beyond what a shorter work could achieve.
