Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Thrift, Movement in America Until quite recently the term "Thrift" conveyed meagre conceptions to the average mind. There have been, it is true, individuals now and then who, because of so-called peculiar characteristics, or possessing dispositional make-up, unusual or rare, have practiced thrift. These, for the most part, however, have been looked upon as mercenary or miserly. To be thrifty was, in popular thinking, to drive a sharp bargain - to demand heavy usury. Thus, the thrifty were characterized as narrow-minded, self-centered, not always the most satisfactory community members. Society frowned upon them, and, while tolerated, they were taken into fellowship reluctantly, or not at all. Until recently, too, thrift was understood in its narrowest sense only - that of money saving. Anyone frugal in money matters was characterized as thrifty, as opposed to the wasteful or extravagant. Hence, to be thrifty implied living on the least possible, with the corresponding larger saving and investment. A close buyer, one who could drive a sharp bargain, who had foresight to invest to advantage, who managed to sell on a big margin, who spent little and saved much - such was the thrifty person.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Thrift, Movement in America Here and there a man has dared assert the righteousness Of thrift and to practice its doctrine. NO man in our century has done so much toward bringing the people to a realizing sense Of the crime Of wastefulness, and Of the absolute necessity for the proper practice of economy, as has the author Of the present book. A member of a large family, and with a father who had to make his own way in the world, he early absorbed lessons Of honesty, Of industry, of tenacity of purpose, Of economy; Of making the best use of what is available, and of shaping conditions to meet future needs, such as has made him careful for himself not only, but concerned for the welfare of others. With thrift as precept and practice entering into the very warp and woof Of the commercial, the moral, the spiritual life of the man - endowed by nature as wise and far-seeing, with an inherent de sire to serve - there early came to Simon W. Straus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Book excerpt: "In this lively and engaging book, Andrew L. Yarrow tells the story of a national movement that promoted an amalgam of values and practices ranging from self-control, money management, and efficiency to conservation, generosity, and planning for the future -- all under the rubric of 'thrift'. Emerging in tandem and in tension with the first flowerings of consumer society, the thrift movement flourished during the 1910s and 1920s and then lingered on the outskirts of American culture from the Depression to the prosperous mid-twentieth century. A post-World War II culture that centered on spending and pleasure made the early-twentieth-century thrift messages seem outdated. Nonetheless, echoes of thrift can be found in currently popular ideas of 'sustainability', and 'simplicity' and in efforts to curtail public and private debt." -- Back cover.

Download or read book Finance in America written by Kevin R. Brine and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of what we call finance today does not begin in ancient Mesopotamia, or in Imperial China, or in the counting houses of Renaissance Europe. This timely and magisterial book shows that finance as we know it--the combination of institutions, regulations, and models, as well as the infrastructure that manages money, credit, claims, banking, assets, and liabilities--emerged gradually starting in the late nineteenth century and coalesced only after World War II. Kevin Brine, a financial industry veteran, and Mary Poovey, a historian, lay bare the history of finance in the United States over this critical period. They show how modern finance made itself known in episodes such as the 1907 Bankers' Panic on Wall Street, passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, and the marginalist tax policies adopted by the federal government in the 1920s. Over its long history, the distinctive feature of modern economics has been its reliance on mathematical modeling; Brine and Poovey show how this reliance came about, and how economists themselves understand it. "Finance in America: An Unfinished Story" provides the long view that we need to advance our national conversation about the place of finance. The story is unfinished because the 2009 financial crisis opened a perilous new chapter in this history, with reverberations that are still felt throughout the world. How we arrived at this most recent crisis is impossible to understand without the kind of history that Brine and Poovey provide here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Heritage of Sociology.In his superb introductory essay, Camic situates Parson's early writings in their sociointellectual and biographical context. Drawing upon extensive historical research, he identifies three overlapping but relatively distinct thematic phases in the early development of Parson's ideas: that on capitalist society and its origins, that on the historical development of the theory of action, and that on the foundations of analytical sociology. Reproducing in full each of twenty-one selections, this volume charts the changes and continuities in the early development of some of Parson's most fundamental ideas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this surprising new look at how clothing, style, and commerce came together to change American culture, Jennifer Le Zotte examines how secondhand goods sold at thrift stores, flea markets, and garage sales came to be both profitable and culturally influential. Initially, selling used goods in the United States was seen as a questionable enterprise focused largely on the poor. But as the twentieth century progressed, multimillion-dollar businesses like Goodwill Industries developed, catering not only to the needy but increasingly to well-off customers looking to make a statement. Le Zotte traces the origins and meanings of "secondhand style" and explores how buying pre-owned goods went from a signifier of poverty to a declaration of rebellion. Considering buyers and sellers from across the political and economic spectrum, Le Zotte shows how conservative and progressive social activists--from religious and business leaders to anti-Vietnam protesters and drag queens--shrewdly used the exchange of secondhand goods for economic and political ends. At the same time, artists and performers, from Marcel Duchamp and Fanny Brice to Janis Joplin and Kurt Cobain, all helped make secondhand style a visual marker for youth in revolt.
