New edition of the bestselling investigation into the myth and reality of working-class life in contemporary Britain.
When this book was first published in 2011 it opened up the discussion on class in Britain. Then, in the public debate after the riots that happened in the summer of that year, Owen Jones' thesis was proved right - the working class were the scapegoats for everything that was wrong with Britain.
This new edition includes a new chapter, reflecting on the overwhelming response to the book and the situation in Britain today.
