When a country is progressing economically on all spheres of growth, then its people also become well off. The proportionate economic growth in the standard of living of the people speaks of the economic well-being of the country. In the poem ‘A Roadside Stand’, the poet has tried to ensure a balanced development of the villages and the cities by their mutual co-operation.

It is time that the balanced development ensures real satisfaction and happiness. The cities and villages are interdependent for essential things of everyday use. The villagers grow for them the agricultural produce, corns, vegetables, fruits, & oil, etc. The cities provide more employment avenues in the fields of education, business, research, amusements, industries, technology and medical sectors. Therefore, their mutual co-operation in all spheres of progressive activities ensures the balanced economic well-being of the country.

Robert Frost also expected that the city folk must have the requisite lift of spirit for the waiting poor rural people for their economic growth. The city people, if so determine, can at one stroke of help bring the poor villagers out of their pain.
