Since the 1980s the【C6】______of those at the top have risen strongly, while those below the median have stood still or fallen.

Rich people could get others to do the【C10】______, repetitive work. Yet Veblen’s leisure class was not【C11】______.

There are fewer really dull jobs, like lift-operating, and more【C16】______ones, like fashion design. That means more people than ever can enjoy "exploit" at the【C17】______. Work has come to offer the sort of pleasures that rich people used to【C18】______in their leisure time. On the other hand, leisure is【C19】______a sign of social power. Instead it【C20】______uselessness and unemployment.
