Description
Born to Rule: The Making and Remaking of the British Elite
A meticulously researched study of the British elite from the Victorian era to today, using data from the Who's Who database and other sources to uncover the patterns and trends behind Britain's power brokers.
The authors' analysis reveals that while there has been some progress in increasing diversity among the elite, those born into the top 1% remain just as likely to get into the elite today as they were 125 years ago, with a shift towards presenting themselves as more ordinary.
