Several years ago, I discovered a very old and ragged copy of this and purchased it to add to my collection of historic books. The premise seemed intriguing enough and the title made me laugh. I finally grabbed it from my bookshelf to read last week and couldn’t put it down! Very witty and creative with a number of pithy insights about employment, money, and society interspersed throughout. All said, it’s a very entertaining book with short chapters full of humor and wisdom — in some ways like some of Ben Franklin’s writings. I’d certainly read again and would recommend.
