While retail prices may have increased since Juliet Corson published her "Twenty-Five Cent Dinners For Families of Six" in 1879, what has not changed is the homemaker's interest in creating interesting, economical meals for the family. Corson, a noted teacher of cookery and advocate for the poor based her philosophy upon four ideals: 1) Utlizing every part of a food source, thus eliminating waste; 2) Serving several inexpensive dishes rather than one expensive one; 3) Using homegrown herbs and inexpensive spices to embellish dishes; and 4) Using lentils, peas, and macaroni as alternative, inexpensive sources of protein. Corson's philosophy of thrift will resonate with the modern family, while the recipes she provides will also serve the modern family with delicious, inexpensive meal ideas.

The author of "The Unsolved Riddle of Social Justice," Stephen Leacock, was most famous as one of Canada's leading early 20th-century humorists. Yet, he was a professor of economics and political science at McGill University in Montreal too. In this book, he mixes his well-known humor with his deep expertise in economics and politics to examine the eternal economic and social justice questions. He addresses the problems in both systems of socialism and capitalism, pointing out the strong and weak sides of both. Although the book was printed more than a century ago, the thoughts and approaches published in it are very modern and can be used to assess today's political and economic state.
