Thrift is a central concern for most people, especially in
turbulent economic times. It is both an economic and an ethical
logic of frugal living, saving and avoiding waste for long-term kin
care. These logics echo the ancient ideal of household
self-sufficiency, contrasting with capitalism's wasteful
present-focused growth. But thrift now exceeds domestic matters
straying across scales to justify public expenditure cuts. Through
a wide range of ethnographic contexts this book explores how
practices and moralities of thrift are intertwined with austerity,
debt, welfare, and patronage across various social and temporal
scales and are constantly re-negotiated at the nexus of
socio-economic, religious, and kinship ideals and praxis.
