Industry and Frugality are two virtues that focus on how we use our labor. Do we work to excess, frantically trying to complete an immoderate list? Are we spending money we don’t have in an effort to feel more in control? We’ll spend some time imagining a new way to understand our work in this world. How might we liberate ourselves from the anxieties of this anxious age?

We’ll apply these two virtues to a contentious issue in Vermont to see how they might help us find common action even though we disagree on some of the principles.
