And about the lives of many more people, many more than ever before.
George W. Bush proclaimed our society as the "ownership society". Problem is, things we can "own" are finite.
The more someone else owns, the less the rest of us can own (unless an economy of sharing is established, which our mostly laissez-faire economy is far from advocating).
Of course, those who own lots can use their powers of persuasion (powers they have in abundance - media, military, cultural norms) to convince us that we can work harder and be like them someday.
Sick joke being the harder we work, the more they own.
Not to hijack this thread to political waters, the show sounds fascinating.
