Behind our democracy lurks a powerful but unaccountable network of
people who wield massive power and reap huge profits in the process. In
exposing this shadowy and complex system that dominates our lives, Owen
Jones sets out on a journey into the heart of our Establishment, from
the lobbies of Westminster to the newsrooms, boardrooms and trading
rooms of Fleet Street and the City. Exposing the revolving doors that
link these worlds, and the vested interests that bind them together,
Jones shows how, in claiming to work on our behalf, the people at the
top are doing precisely the opposite.
In fact, they represent
the biggest threat to our democracy today - and it is time they were
challenged. 'A book of revelations ... The Establishment have stitched
it up - stitched you up - and they know it' Danny Dorling, Times Higher
Education Supplement 'A dissection of the profoundly and sickeningly
corrupt state that is present-day Britain.
He is a fine writer,
and this is a truly necessary book' Philip Pullman 'Owen Jones is a
phenomenon of our times' David Kynaston, The Times Literary Supplement
'You will be enlightened and angry' Irvine Welsh
