This book takes us closer to a mysterious and complex group. They hold huge power and earn huge profits through it. They even use tools such as economic neoliberalism to consolidate their own interest system. They are called "the establishment" (the establishment).
Today's powerful people include a wide range of people, and the social composition is more diverse, including bankers, politicians, media giants and other figures. Party whips, parliamentarians, reporters, police, academics, financial tycoons... All kinds of characters appeared on the stage like a revolving lantern. From the Palace of Westminster to bank boardrooms, from the offices of the Guardian to the BBC lobby, from cafes in wealthy areas to the Oxford University debating society, Owen Jones reveals a vast network of people.
In the book, Owen Jones explores the ins and outs of the powerful class, revealing their true face of taking national wealth and using national resources for their own purposes, while claiming to be for the benefit of the people.
Reader comments
There is a concerted effort to divert people's anger at their own and their country's plight away from the powerful. As always, this force leads the British public to shift its frustrations onto those who are often vilified by elite politicians and the media. This sentence is enough for a five-star review. We are now praising the rich and the poor are all bad people in society.
A very good book that explains in depth the current political situation in the West
