It is hard to specify exactly what genre Larry Roth’s new book can fall into. Political
frugal living
gay rights
taking care of the body and more are covered in Political Frugality – Guerrilla Economics for the Demonized
Devalued and Disenfranchised.

Larry was a high income-earner who gave it up to be a relaxed gardener; he exercises
eats right and lives frugally. This retired professional walks-the-walk
and raises several interesting points of view on society and communities.

Discussions on how we dictate each other’s belief system to one another without even realizing what we are doing were definitely thought provoking. Larry also brings to light the unrealistic discrimination that still slides in and out of our daily lives - and we find this normal.

I found the author’s ideas on social security just fantastic. When you think about it
where does our money go if we die early and are not married? For that matter
why should the spouse left behind be penalized by receiving only a portion of the mate’s coverage?
The true cost of climbing the social ladder is certainly a point well made by Larry and his thoughts on how consumerism is a vote with the wallet is enlightening. He talks about corporations that build items without replaceable parts or limited availability in order to force more consumer spending. According to Larry
it does not have to be like this.
Although Political Frugality begins a little heavy and political for my tastes
just past these first few pages the real life stories will entertain and shock the reader. Larry’s nightmare situation with the credit bureau is pretty shocking. This is not another "victim of fraud" story folks
but rather a bureaucratic goof taken to an extreme!

Larry also makes some excellent arguments for the benefits of walking. It can be so much more than frugal and responsible transportation
exercise and meditation – it can actually bond communities. How? I can’t tell you here
you’ll have to read the book to find out!
So many beliefs and views on issues were similar to my own that I found myself thinking "Exactly!" repeatedly. Larry certainly brings attention to some very ironic and illogical social issues. Folks that read Political Frugality will learn new ideas on how to live in a more socially and fiscally responsible way.
