Abstract
Why is the head of your small, local council paid as much as s/he is? Why are dozens of people at the BBC paid more than the prime minister? Why are people in some semi-pointless jobs such as fashion (or glamor) modeling or news-reading rewarded so highly? Why do secretaries in the City earn more than the Archbishop of Canterbury? And why is the CEO of your organization paid so much more than you?
