   political economy. see under political.

   syn: economy, frugality, parsimony. economy avoids all
        waste and extravagance, and applies money to the best
        advantage; frugality cuts off indulgences, and proceeds
        on a system of saving. the latter conveys the idea of
        not using or spending superfluously, and is opposed to
        lavishness or profusion. frugality is usually applied to
        matters of consumption, and commonly points to
        simplicity of manners; parsimony is frugality carried to
        an extreme, involving meanness of spirit, and a sordid
        mode of living. economy is a virtue, and parsimony a
        vice.
