A lighthearted treatise on the complexities and contradictions of thrifty behavior draws on historical examples that offer insight into everything from Benjamin Franklin's "penny saved" principles and the branding of Jewish citizens to Dumpster-diving and American responses to recessions.

Recensione
"What's the fine line between thrift and stinginess, self-control and compulsion, purpose and obsession? Lauren Weber's fresh take on the quirky side of saving and spending couldn't be timelier." (Sylvia Nasar, author of A Beautiful Mind)
"Never preachy or sanctimonious, In Cheap We Trust is one of the most fascinating and life-altering books I've read this year. Its insights are profound. If you want to lighten your footprint while deepening the quality of your life, you'll love this book." (John Robbins, author Diet For A New America, The Food Revolution, and The New Good Life)
"Consumers have been researched to death. It's about time the tightwads among us got the same kind of loving attention. In Cheap We Trust is immensely readable and highly illuminating - the perfect guide to the oncoming era of like-it-or-not thrift." (Jim Lardner, co-author of Up to Our Eyeballs: How Shady Lenders and Failed Economic Policies Are Drowning Americans in Debt)
"This book has a far better chance of making cheapness socially acceptable than Ben Franklin, Jack Benny, and my father combined." (Joel Stein, Time columnist)
L'autore
Lauren Weber was formerly a staff reporter at Reuters and Newsday. She has also written for The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, American Banker, and other publications. A former resident at Yaddo, Lauren graduated from Wesleyan University and was a Knight-Bagehot fellow, a fellowship that invites 10 business journalists each year to study finance and economics at Columbia's Graduate School of Business.
Lauren grew up with a father whose creative and eccentric ways of saving money included rationing household toilet paper and developing a gas-saving method of driving in which light pedal taps substituted for full braking.
