Charles Dickens started to work at a very young age and all these experiences of working very long hours being basically a kid came back to his mind as an adult when he read some reports and investigation about the children working class and how employers value them in how much they can do in an amount of time not as people as valuable beings. The character of Scrooge is a reflection of the opinion that not only him but also those kids have of the company owners, this publication was also a statement about how he thought economy labor should work.
