I'm rereading "Guards! Guards!" right now, and I just came across this quote:
But incompetents with possibilities, nevertheless. Let the other societies take the skilled, the hopefuls, the ambitious, the self-confident. He'd take the whining resentful ones, the ones with a bellyful of spite and bile, the one who knew they could make it big if only they'd been given the chance.

At the moment I'm half-way into Making Money. It was published before the current economic mess, but it's still spot on about trading trust. Pratchett must have a crystal ball somewhere...
I didn't much go for "Making Money", but I though "Going Postal" was a brilliant commentary on the way skilled,talented workers get screwed over by money-grubbing con-artists on the lookout for a quick profit at any price.
