The Winona State University Lyceum Series will host “The New Frugality” with Chris Farrell at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 26, in the Vivian Fusillo Stage in the Performing Arts Center.
Farrell is author of the book “The New Frugality: How to Consume Less, Save More, and Live Better,” which links frugality with the broader sustainability movement and illustrates that frugality is not about being cheap but about being mindful with money. Farrell advocates for readers to put their core values at the center of saving, spending and giving decisions because it’s good for the planet as well as a person’s finances.
Farrell is the economics editor of Marketplace Money, a nationally syndicated weekly public finance show produced by American Public Media. He also serves as the economics correspondent for Marketplace Money, and American RadioWorks, and as the economics editor for Business Week magazine. Farrell is a graduate of Stanford and the London School of Economics. His most recent book is “Unretirement: How Baby Boomers Are Changing The Way We Think About Work, Community, and the Good Life.”
The event is free and open to the public.
