There is a whole raft of writers who made their bones writing about runaway capitalism in capitalist Britain. The most famous story by perhaps the English language's greatest writer, Charles Dickens, is a morality tale about a hardhearted and greedy boss whose underpaid staff is practically starving to death. The French revolutionary thought that inspired our own government was energized by the plight of the French poor in 18th century laissez faire France. And that's all if you stop at the 18th century. Dig on further back into antiquity and there's even more going on. I am not surprised this argument merited the use of a throwaway account.
