Excerpt from Household Management
N the study of Economics there are two great divisions - production and consumption. Until within a few years, by far the lion's share of time and study has been given to the first of these divisions. It has been deemed sufficient for the securing of happi ness and prosperity to a people to point out how the greatest degree of efficiency in producing wealth might be obtained. The manner in which that wealth was expended was considered less important. Recently a decided change has taken place. A conviction has been growing, especially among students or economics, of the equal importance of the other division, which covers the use made of the money after it has been acquired. This emphasizes the important place of the home in Economics as will be realized by those who consider how largely the home is the center of the consumption of wealth.
