Day in life With a 19th century Capitalist

Every morning I wake up at 8:15 am sharp in my deluxe king sized bed. I am greeted with breakfast in bed, cooked by the finest chef in the country, it usually consistences of eggs, bacon and coffee. After breakfast I put on one of my custom tailored suit which is accompanied by a silk top hat and freshly cleaned cane. My butler then escorts me to my carriage where I am taken to the shoe factory where I make my riches. Through the country side we travel until we reach the disgusting city where many bums call home. Immediately after I arrive, over payed orphans crowd me asking for money of course I have already payed them by building my factory next to their orphanage where they are allowed to work for free. It takes a few knocks to my cane before they clear the way so I can monitor the change of children from night shift to day. If they do not make 10 shoes an hour they are whipped two times more than shoes they came short on.  My cane is a little bloody but that is okay my butler will wash it tonight. After approving the factory is running efficiently, my stand in takes over as I return home for a delicious lunch accompanied by caviar. After lunch we proceeded back to the factory to check in again this time the kids had learned their  lesson and stayed well back and on task. The children work till 10 but I do not enough time have to watch the filthy animals all night, besides I have a fox hunt tomorrow morning. On my way home I pick up a fellow capitalist to discuss business over a nice slow roasted pig and tea by the fire. Then I return to my deluxe king bed for a nice sleep.

  1. Sounds like a delightful life. Capitalism is truly wonderful. Would you ever consider taking a job as a laborer? or do you prefer being a executive?

  2. Do only children work for you? Do you think if you had the adult labourers working for you, they would stand up to your harassment?

  3. No I allow grown ups to handle the money and fill in for me, I got my whole family working for me. I think children need the experience and adults can try their hand in a nice factory adults can only work in like my friend Amschel Rothschild, he runs a great factory. Maybe you could work there someday.
