The Misunderstood Nature Of Unreformed Scrooge In Dickens

I consider Scrooge to be one of my great role models. Next to Genghis Kahn and Walt Disney perhaps only unreformed Scrooge can be considered really human? Whilst weak people spend money and get themselves into debt Scrooge always turned a nice profit at years end which he re-invested in the following year. This ability to forward plan, and avoid wastage by giving into unnecessary wage demands is what makes Scrooge a archetype for business leaders and politicians even today. Here we are in the age of austerity and unreformed Scrooge will surface once again as a aspirational character.
