Economy

Never forget that when honestly made the money which comes to you in the pursuit of your legitimate vocation is... the measure of your worth in the community you serve. -from How Riches Take Wings In these uncertain economic times the wisdom of self-help pioneer Orison Swett Marden is just as vital today as it was a century ago. A forerunner of Dale Carnegie and Norman Vincent Peale Stephen R. Covey and Anthony Robbins and one of the prime figures in the early motivational movement Marden explains why learning to manage money is the key to personal happiness and security. In inspiring terms he explores: . the foundations of fortune . how to say No! to the temptation to buy . the hidden costs of debt . the unspoken requirement for making money . how saving small amounts can set you on the road to wealth . how judicious liberality promotes prosperity . and much more. First published in 1901 Economy makes plain that money is an excellent servant but a terrible master. Also available from Cosimo Classics: Mardens two-volume Pushing to the Front and Cheerfulness as a Life Power.
