Oh wow: my respect for White Wolf just went up. A big chunk of the Yu-Shan book is an allegory for the current state of the US economy, especially regarding the transition from manufacturing and lifetime employment to service and screw-the-employees. Paraphrased, it goes like this: "we used to run the world and everything was fine. People's jobs were lifelong and their loyalty was rewarded. Then there was a catastrophe, which we could have recovered from except that the people at the top of the heap turned out to be really uninterested in the welfare of everyone below them, so now we have uncertainty and a permanent underclass and rife corruption because the people at the top have made it clear that they don't care if you screw your peers so long as you don't upset the parts of the status quo that they're happy with."

I really hope that it's intentional. I might be over-analyzing.
