Against Thrift
- Synopsis
-
Livingston (history, Rutgers U. ), argues that increased consumer spending is needed to drive economic growth and that consumer culture is good for the environment as well as the soul. He suggests that saving and thrift will only prolong the economic downturn and that were employees paid higher wages, consumer spending could jumpstart the economy. An appendix outlining the work of Simon Kuznets on capital and the American economy is included. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
