[1913 Webster]
Political economy. See under Political.
Syn: Economy, Frugality, Parsimony. Economy avoids all
waste and extravagance, and applies money to the best
advantage; frugality cuts off indulgences, and proceeds
on a system of saving. The latter conveys the idea of
not using or spending superfluously, and is opposed to
lavishness or profusion. Frugality is usually applied to
matters of consumption, and commonly points to
simplicity of manners; parsimony is frugality carried to
an extreme, involving meanness of spirit, and a sordid
mode of living. Economy is a virtue, and parsimony a
vice.
[1913 Webster]
I have no other notion of economy than that it is
the parent to liberty and ease. --Swift.
[1913 Webster]
The father was more given to frugality, and the
son to riotousness [luxuriousness]. --Golding.
