The essay begins with a colloquial dialogue between the essayist and his niece who is trying to figure out how to open the money box just before inserting a penny into it. A money box is nothing but an illusion of wealth and therefore an attractive pursuit; but the moment a few pennies are dropped in, it becomes the most frustrating thing and then breaking it open becomes the most important preoccupation of mind. This reflects that the seed to spend overpowers the self that saves even in so young a person.
The absurdity of a money box as a gift, the writer feels, is contrived by cunning parents who thrust upon their children a sense of their own greed. Contemplating about the money box, the essayist is transported to the memories of his own childhood days when he would make every attempt to rip apart his own money box which he has expressed quiet humorously using a variety of images and comparisons. The essay then ends with a reference to moneybox where author wants to suggest that there is an important need to strike a balance between saving and spending. Saving should not become an obsession and immediacy of spending should not be mindless.

While the researchers found that there were some social changes, residents tended to go back to the way they were once economic hardship had ended. For example, the "business class," traditionally Republican, grudgingly supported the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt and accepted the money the New Deal brought into town. However, once they felt the programs were no longer needed, they withdrew their support.
Before moderate Republicans became virtually extinct, the party advocated limited government. Today, however, President Trump is pursuing a radical shrinkage of the federal government that comes close to overthrowing it entirely. The goal of this project: to leave the country with a minuscule government that is basically an appendage to private enterprise. Call it the Overthrow Project.The essence of the Overthrow Project is familiar: to reduce taxes on the very rich, free the business community from taxes and regulations that interfere with its money-making, and subsidize that community with public funds. In addition, the Overthrow Project aims to privatize as many governmental activities as possible. Left for government is the maintenance of the remaining public infrastructure that enables private enterprise to operate efficiently and safely, as well as the assurance of public safety through ever-higher funding of the military, the homeland-security apparatus, the police, and other forces of so called law and order.Unlike conventional attempts by political parties to remain in power, the Overthrow Project also aims to obtain permanent control over all branches of the federal and state governments. That goal is pursued with an increasingly aggressive and norm-violating form of hardball politics only rarely seen in recent times. The Overthrow Project also aims to obtain permanent control over all branches of the federal and state governments.
The extreme to which the author is led has an amusing illustration in his argument in the beginning of his discussion of leisure time, when in order to prove that the citizens of the typical American city measure everything by its money value, appeal is made to the idiom of the English language, "They believe in spending leisure profitably." One can recall the words of the Master who said, "what shall it profit a man," and who counseled us to lay up treasures in heaven. Idioms of speech can easily be misinterpreted. Does "fight the good fight" prove St. Paul a militarist?
Pete was the methodologist of methodologists in the positivist vein, suggesting that he was one of those arch enemies preserving the status quo. But his politics became clear to me the day after I was arrested at a demonstration. He called me into his office. I thought my research assistantship was doomed. Instead he said that he had read the newspapers, saw I was arrested and wanted to know if I needed any money. Conservative? No way.
The most fun was using research to support what are called CRA challenges. Under a regulation called the Community Reinvestment Act, lenders could be denied permission to merge with or acquire another institution or from even opening a branch if it could be demonstrated that the lender was not making loans in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. A challenge could slow down expensive business transactions and for lenders, time is money. There were those who called these challenges holding banks hostage and I suppose we were. To be honest, that was the entire point which was to give community groups leverage. And it got a lot of attention.
What was negotiated, however, in the process were huge sums of money (millions of dollars) in CRA agreements that required lenders to make loans in neighborhoods that they had previously abandoned. I was the lead researcher behind many of these challenges and was often kept in the background to avoid creating the perception of bias in the research.
