Reviews

"Thrift is sometimes taken to be the most obvious and boring of the virtues. But that is only because we rarely stop to think about it, or are content to honor it-if we honor it at all-with words rather than deeds. These fascinating essays should challenge such complacency. They have the same effect on the reader that Socrates' relentless inquiries had on his interlocutors: they overturn all unreflective notions about thrift, and demonstrate that its meaning for us is inseparable from what we believe about the proper ends of human existence."-Wilfred M. McClay, SunTrust Chair of Excellence in Humanities, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga "Why people save, and how much, and when, is a subject of continuing importance to economists, and it is getting more so over time as many countries' populations are aging. Not surprisingly, others have important insights on these questions as well. This new volume brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines, including eminent historians such as Joyce Appleby and Daniel Walker Howe, to share their insights on "thrift" in a specifically American setting. Reading these essays will usefully broaden the perspective of anyone interested in saving behavior."-Benjamin M. Friedman, William Joseph Maier Professor of Political Economy, Harvard University, author of The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth "The credit crunch may signal the end of the Consumer Society and the dawn of the Age of Thrift. If so, Thrift and Thriving will restore not only the fortunes of economic sociology but the neglected legacy of moral economy. Opening up new insights into American history around the language of virtue, Yates and Hunter have assembled a dazzling collection of essays."-Bryan S. Turner, Presidential Professor of Sociology, The City University of New York "[T]his volume enables the other contributors to range over an impressive swath of intellectual territory. The intellectual free range extends across disciplinary boundaries as well: from history and religion to economics and women's studies."-CHOICE"An important and exciting book for scholars of all periods of American history. One reason for this is the contributors' willingness to make big claims and cover big periods and themes in American history... Individually or paired, these essays would make excellent readings for graduate and undergraduate students in a wide variety of fields." --Reviews in American History "With thrift at low ebb, this text is timely. The twenty-four contributors to this volume--noted scholars who hail from a variety of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences--refrain from issuing a rousing jeremiad that calls Americans back to the homely virtue of scrimping.

Synopsis

Thrift and Thriving in America is a collection of groundbreaking essays from leading scholars across the humanities and social sciences on the seminal importance of thrift to American culture and history. Underpinning the rich diversity of disciplinary perspectives presented in this volume are two overarching claims. First, far from the narrow rendering of thrift as a synonym of saving and scrimping, thrift possesses a surprising capaciousness and dynamism. Second, the idiom of thrift has, in one form or another, served as the primary language for articulating the normative dimensions of economic life throughout much of American history.Thrift and Thriving in America puts thrift in this more expansive light where it reveals its rich and compelling etymology: thrift originally referred to the condition of "thriving." This deeper meaning has always operated as the subtext of thrift and at times has even been invoked to critique more restricted notions of thrift. So understood, thrift moves beyond the instrumentalities of "more or less" and begs the question: what does it mean and take to thrive? Examining how Americans have answered this question not only provides insight into evolving meanings of material well-being, but also into the changing understandings of the good life and the good society more generally.In these essays, thrift becomes a powerful, but evolving moral idea and practice that has indelibly marked the character of American life since its earliest days. Thrift remains, if perhaps in unexpected and counter-intuitive ways, a key to the complex issues of contemporary and economic life., Thrift and Thriving in America is a collection of groundbreaking essays on the significance of thrift throughout American history., Thrift is a powerful and evolving moral ideal, disposition, and practice that has indelibly marked the character of American life since its earliest days. Its surprisingly multifaceted character opens a number of expansive vistas for analysis, not only in the American past, but also in its present. Thrift remains, if perhaps in unexpected and counter-intuitive ways, intensely relevant to the complex issues of contemporary moral and economic life. Thrift and Thriving in America is a collection of groundbreaking essays from leading scholars on the seminal importance of thrift to American culture and history. From a rich diversity of disciplinary perspectives, the volume shows that far from the narrow and attenuated rendering of thrift as a synonym of saving and scrimping, thrift possess an astonishing capaciousness and dynamism, and that the idiom of thrift has, in one form or another, served as the primary language for articulating the normative dimensions of economic life throughout much of American history. The essays put thrift in a more expansive light, revealing its compelling etymology-its sense of "thriving." This deeper meaning has always operated as the subtext of thrift and at times has even been invoked to critique its more restricted notions. So understood, thrift moves beyond the instrumentalities of "more or less" and begs the question: what does it mean and take to thrive? Thoroughly examining how Americans have answered this question, Thrift and Thriving in America provides fascinating insight into evolving meanings of material wellbeing, and of the good life and the good society more generally, and will serve as a perennial resource on a notion that has and will continue to shape and define American life.
