Thrift....what is it, really, and what distinguishes it from grey-faced penny-pinching? In today's age of Plenty, it is certainly hard to see virtue in thriftiness. All around us, billboards, magazine advertisements and television spots encourage us to Spend. We are certainly not encouraged to retrospect on leaner periods in America 's recent history. On times when thrift and well-researched spending habits could make the difference between financial survival and the poorhouse at almost all social levels. This retrospective DVD revisits an era in which the American way of life was on the financial razor's edge. Here is a priceless opportunity to safeguard the future by learning from the tragedies of the past.

As a younger person there are lots of parts of modern history that I really don't know much about. (Did anyone else ever notice that our history classes seemed to stop after World War II?)
That's why I buy DVDs like this and if they teach me something I didn't know before I'm happy and give them five stars.
So, what did I learn in this DVD?
Simple, that at the end of the 1950s the government was worried that we were about to go into another great depression and wanted to do anything and everything they could to stop it.
Aparently it was this paranoia about the economy that caused LBJ to create The Great Society welfare program that remains controversial to this day.
I learned alot.
