A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

This book explodes the myth that Britain is becoming a classless society as the authors systematically examine the pillars of the new class structure. Education, the monarchy, the armed forces, health, politics, housing and race all come under scrutiny. And cultural outlets from the BBC to fashion, sport and religion, the NHS and the National Lottery are explored for their latest significance. A CLASS ACT is a must for anyone who wants to understand Britain today.
