Abstracts

EN

The paper offers an interpretation of frugality as a classic virtue and concentrates on its conflict with widely promoted postulate to consume as much as possible. It is argued that frugality is not a superfluous and anachronistic norm. On the contrary, frugality is a richly relevant standard and important component of sustainable development.
