    One of the biggest failings in Western economics is the prevalence for across the board percentage pay rises. People getting paid £40k get double those on £20k when both get an equal amount in pay percentage increase. This has been part of the reason why top bands in large companies have gained such huge pay scales. Percentage rises are nothing like an equal pay rise. It is way past time unions recognised this.

    Kind of Kudos to the Chinese for this. I hope they see fit to roll it out among some of the more powerful families in China also, and not just use it to claw back some money from the middle class.
