À propos de ce contenu audio
Merry Christmas from Consistently Eccentric!
To celebrate the big day we are discussing the life of John Elwes, a Georgian man with unimaginable wealth, who chose to spend as little of it as possible.
While his eccentricities led him to become Dickens' inspiration for Scrooge, we make the argument that this is an unfair characterisation, as while he would not spend a penny on himself (or his long-suffering servants) if he could help it, John was more than happy to give away vast sums of money to help friends, acquaintances, or any random person who came to ask for help...
... and isn't giving the true spirit of the season?
