For most of human history rich people had the most leisure. On the other hand, the poor have typically worked persistently. Hans-Joachim Voth, an economic historian, says that in 19th century you could tell how poor somebody was by how【C1】______they worked.

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】______ Rather they engaged in "exploit":【C12】______and creative activities such as writing, charity and【C13】______.

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.
