[quote=Anonymous]I think the book "The Big House" by George Howe Colt does a great job of explaining the WASP thriftiness aesthetic among affluent people. The book is about a family's large oceanfront summer home that needs to be sold off. It's not a story of poverty, but rather a story of changing times. But in the background there are funny anecdotes about how the property and the family's lifestyle were thriftily managed.[/quote]
