Historian Niall Ferguson has written an essay for the BBC website, I thought I might share it with you all. He makes an interesting remark in the middle of the essay.

Yeah - young people should just pull down their pants, bend over, spread their cheeks and take what the Upper 1% gives them and be happy.
