What’s it about?

Owen Jones is a British author, journalist, and political activist. He was the winner of the Journalist of the Year award in 2012 and the Young Writer of the Year award in 2013. He has stated that he doesn’t write for pleasure or the passion of the craft. Instead, he writes to trigger debate and encourage people to challenge those with power.

In writing this book, Jones is motivated to unite people against the injustice of political systems that are ruled by the powerful elite. Scandals, conspiracies, and cover-ups are commonplace in today’s political landscape. But who is at the heart of these political atrocities? The author argues that it is the Establishment—those in the corrupt political system, from police to cabinet members, and the powerful puppet masters behind them.

The goal of this book is to identify whom the Establishment is, naming those involved and their purpose. According to the author, the biggest objective of this group is to manage democracy and ensure it doesn’t threaten their interests. In other words, the Establishment doesn’t promote real democracy; instead it’s a system put into place to protect the elite
