Is there a fundamental soullessness to certain cultures? Or is it endemic to all?

  If you look at the labor history in any country, I would guess that the "soullessness", if I understand your meaning, is inversely proportional to how advanced the economy is and how much political power the workers have. The advanced western nations used to have brutal 6-day workweeks and children working in coal mines.

    Which we fought against. Then the powers started fighting back against unions to the point where it's a horrifying idea. So people lose their arms and die because of poor training and safety regs. A union means that the guy never touches that machine, that the girl and her team just sit and wait for the maintenance guy. These fines also seem pretty low.
