The Tightwad and a Nation’s Economic Faith
A column extols the tightwad as a pillar of national wealth arguing thrift fuels empires and prosperity. It contrasts thrifty leaders with spendthrift decay, cites Rockefeller and Carnegie as examples, and warns that without accumulated capital nations falter. A second piece records a Massachusetts traveler’s roadside encounter with an amiable elderly observer.
