Bob Herbert’s column today, and the multi-part NY Times series on class in America, is pretty depresing stuff. But Jesse over at Pandagon said something in response that ought to be emphasized:
There’s no problem with the people who run the company earning more money. There’s a problem when we set up an economy where they reap all the benefits for the company they run, as if everyone under them is simply a token functionary who adds nothing to the company’s success.
There’s a larger point to be made here about the whole issue of how the work world has changed in the past few decades but I’m strugling with the words for it.
