    Adam Smith Wealth Of Nations Summary

    Charlotte Simmons is raised in a household which represents the epitome of frugality. With a homemade computer and “fancy,” grease-soaked dinners at the Sizzling Skillet, Charlotte was forced to live the parsimonious lifestyle.

Given the choice, Charlotte willingly allows herself to conform to the prodigal lifestyle flaunted by Dupont’s…
