Description
Who Rules Britain? explores the lifestyle, economic basis and political affiliations of the British upper class. Drawing from a range of sources, this textbook examines the historical development of the British elite, including industrial and financial dynasties, town and country society, and the world of politics.
The book considers whether there is still a ruling class in Britain, tracing the evolution of the British upper class over time. It also delves into the social and cultural aspects of this group, from public school fees to the structure of parliament.
