Keep on Saving - How Other Nations Forged Cultures of Thrift

"This is an important and timely book. It effectively makes the case for viewing savings behavior neither as primarily a cultural trait nor one produced by market forces, but as something fundamentally shaped by policy, politics, and institutions. Beyond Our Meansis an uncommon pleasure to read."--Andrew Gordon, author of The Wages of Affluence "This will be a unique and important book for historians, for policymakers, and for the general public. Beyond Our Meansissues an important challenge to cultural explanations that will resonate far beyond the topic of savings. I learned a tremendous amount."--Lawrence B.
