An Inspector calls has been called "a play of contrasts". How does Priestley present some of the contrasts in the play?

This is a pretty detailed question for this short space. I think that generally Priestly contrasts capitalist ideology, like Arthur Birling and Gerald, with socialist ideology, like the inspector, to illustrate what is best for a just society. Capitalism is shown to exploit people while Socialism is shown to take care of people.
