Nothing changes
Happened to catch "A Christmas Carol" yesterday and the thing that struck me was how we don't seem to have come very far in the 150 odd years since it was written. One part really got to me where a workman asks Scrooge if his job is safe, Scrooge asks how much do I pay you? The answer is 5 shillings,'you can stay for 4' the reply. Not so different to what we see many employers doing now. Not to mention the homelessness and all the other social ills, you could easily replace Scrooge with Sir Fred (the Shred) Goodwin.
