I really enjoyed this article. It looked at the scene in “Farmer Boy” where Father has Almanzo decide between buying lemonade and investing in a suckling pig. It is a very good explanation of the labor theory of value. The writer here is hoping that modern people will learn a lesson about thinking carefully what they do with their money.
