I have been puzzling over the Panorama programme on the richest 1% of our population. Apparently, they now have something like 13% of the annual income in the country and own over a quarter of the property/land. There was much discussion by various economists on the advantages of a capitalist system, and this was backed up by wealthy entrepreneurs who maintained that their success had a knock-on effect for their workers. one lone voice spoke about our society becoming less caring as it became more aspirational.
What worried me was the way in which the producers ignored the voice of spirituality or the effect all of this has on crime. Am I alone in feeling very uncomfortable about all of this? And I mean the power of the programmers as much as the bias itself.
