I have been reading a book of that title, by a youngish chap called Owen Jones whose other book is called Chavs.
It's not without interest, although frankly at nearly half way through it hasn't told me much I didn't know already.
The proofreading though is an utter disgrace. The commonest solecism is the presentation of 'the media' as a singular, a pet hate of mine, and one chapter ends on a totally meaningless sentence, perhaps not even a sentence.
I say Tchah! to Allen Lane Penguin, which ought to be ashamed of itself.
