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.
Today things are【C2】______. Overall working hours have【C3】______over the past century. But the rich have begun to work longer hours than the poor.

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】______.

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.
