"Thrift" by Samuel Smiles is the sequel to his two previous books, "Self-Help" and "Character," in which the author continues to express his philosophy. In this book, he touches upon the moral aspects of money use, wealth, and poverty. According to Smiles, poverty was caused primarily by irresponsible habits. His writings significantly influenced British political thought, and he was considered a father of mid-Victorian liberalism.
