“But while Dr Chang may not have the answer, he is sure of the problem – arguing that free-market capitalism has left the global economy more unstable, and people with less job security and greater feelings of insecurity, than ever before. His conviction that, post-recession, we should be rebuilding our country in a “moral” way – by acknowledging the social consequences of economic choices such as benefit cuts and job losses – will strike a chord with many.“

He also writes about the myth that people are paid what they are worth. One of my favorites.

We - each and everyone of us reading this - allow a society where people who produce absolutely nothing, who essentially command other people to build them complex electronic financial systems that do nothing but pull imaginary money out of thin air - we allow these worthless shits to be paid millions upon millions of dollars every month! This while individuals and small families who grow food - an actual tangible goddamn necessity - must work two-three jobs just to survive. 

And many of the same people getting royally screwed have been convinced by the people doing the screwing that our biggest threat are people that believe in one fairy tale (Islam) making it impossible for us to believe our fairy tale (Christianity).
