This is in two areas. initially in stave 1The First time men are talk of business is when the two business gentlemen arrive at Scrooges office seeking a charitable donation to help feed the poor and offer them some comfort that Christmas to which Scrooge famously asks "are there no prisons, are there no work houses and the poverty laws and the treadmill are they still in use?". Then Marley is telling Scrooge that "mankind" , Marley goes on to say of his enternal punishement that "The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business". This is prompting Scrooge to reconsider his own life and his priorites.
