The new status symbol: it’s not what you spend – it’s how hard you work
The rich used to show how much they could spend on things they didn’t need. Today, a public display of productivity is the new symbol of class power
Hasnain says:
"Today, the old slogan of the labor movement sounds like utopian science fiction. Imagine a society that claimed so little of our labor. Imagine a world where the poor didn’t have to work so hard to exist, and the rich didn’t have to work so hard to appear worthy of their wealth, because rich and poor didn’t exist."
