Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This book explodes the myth that Britain is becoming a classless society, the authors systematically examine the pillars of the new class structure: education, the Monarchy, the armed forces, health, politics and race all come under scrutiny. 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.
