A Charles Dickens novel shows us what it was like to be in the shoes of the working class or poor people during the Victorian era, living under an unrepresentative Capitalist system where only male land owners had the right to vote. Business owners self interest and greed are the motivating factors behind their endless pursuit of more wealth at any cost.  Capitalism is good if you are rich but ordinary if you are poor and live under a Capitalist system.
