Classic Dickens tale would be different today | |

Charles Dickens' famous character Ebenezer Scrooge may have had some character flaws, but he was the quintessential financier of his day. It would be interesting, however, to consider how Dickens would pen a modern-day version of "A Christmas Carol." Dickens' popular, but not very profitable, 1843 book offered readers a gripping tale that beyond its captivating mix of terror and holiday-inspired emotion was a well-crafted allegory offering a stinging assessment of the economic and political structure of his day. | ||

Gee, a diatribe right out of the Dems play book - how does the Trib do it?
Better hurry though links to the Trib may go 404 soon, the major newspapers like this one (its goes without saying they are lib ones) are going the way of the buggy whip. Meanwhile, it gets my bottom story of the day vote; you? |

"The ghost of Christmas past would focus on vibrant textile, steel and auto businesses employing millions of holiday-happy workers reveling in the security of their perceived lifelong jobs"
Isn't that what got the auto industry into trouble ... labor unions focussing on high paying life long jobs instead of a balance that would allow the companies to stay competitive? |
