About this book
In an era marked by rapid industrialization and the rise of consumer culture, "Charge It: Keeping Up With Harry" by Irving Bacheller explores the absurdities of wealth and social status. Through the lens of its protagonist, Harry, the novel critiques the extravagant living that defined the early 20th century, revealing the humorous and often ridiculous lengths to which individuals will go to maintain appearances. With sharp wit, Bacheller examines themes of social pretensions and the consequences of living beyond one's means. Ideal for students and civic activists interested in the intersection of economics and society, this novel serves as a timeless reflection on the human condition amidst the allure of affluence.
