I appreciate the help I already have got with this question. I faintly
remember that the Buddha also said something else about housholders and
economics, that householders could enjoy their money with a good conscience
if it was earned by rightful means, or something similar. If someone have
some other suggestions about this or other sayings about the same theme -
householders and economics - I'd be most thankful.
