How Does Priestley Present Injustice In An Inspector Calls

In An Inspector calls, Priestley uses The Inspector to present injustice in society through his questioning of the Birling family and Gerald Croft. The Inspector gradually uncovers the selfish and unjust acts which the family enacts upon the lower classes through their abuse of their power and status over people, not showing the slightest bit of care for their wellbeing, barely treating their workers as individual beings with their own lives and emotions, just caring about the money they are making for them, and treating the lower class in general as lower beings in general, not being worth the time to understand or sympathise with.
The Inspector exposes the acts of injustice by the upper class towards the lower classes through his questioning

Arthur was the first member of the family who was shown to be greedy through the inspector’s questioning, as he revealed to care very little about his worker’s wellbeing and just cares about the money they are making for him, as shown by Arthur’s solution to improve his company's profitability being ‘Lower costs and higher prices’, which perfectly illustrates his complete disregard for the wellbeing of his workers, and when his workers went on a strike to get their rates increased from twenty two sixpence to twenty five sixpence, he immediately refused and fired the people who were the leaders of the protest, not caring for what would happen to them after. The Inspector reveals to both the reader and the Birling family that Eva Smith was one of the people who were fired for this reason and set the stage for her misfortune that eventually led to her death. After Eva Smith was fired, she found another job working at Millwards, where she fell victim to Sheila Birling’s selfishness. Sheila abused her links to the shop and her mother to blackmail the manager of Millwards to fire Eva Smith out of pure jealousy due to the fact that Sheila looked bad in a dress whereas Eva looked stunning with it. This alone drove Sheila to do all she could to get her fired due to just the fact that Eva looked better than her. Sheila even reveals to the inspector that ‘If she'd been some miserable plain little creature, I don't suppose I'd have done it’, which perfectly summarises how Sheila’s selfishness towards others and how she cares more about people’s appearances than their actual worth as human beings. Next, Gerald Croft is shown to be selfish towards Eva Smith as he met her at a bar and began a romantic relationship with her, but he was not serious about her and eventually ends the relationship,
