Recenzii
At a time when democracy feels threatened, Simon Kuper is fighting hard for a better vision of politics - he is brutally honest about our problems but never loses hope that we can build a better democracy
Exposes the corruption permeating UK politics and the death of the so-called "good chap"
An intelligible, compelling and enraging narrative ... how the Good Chaps get away with it
Perfectly timed as a guide to what the new government should do, Simon Kuper's follow-up to the superb Chums is a snappy, incisive account of the debasement of British politics by money and influence.
Simon Kuper has written a timely and compelling reminder to leaders of all political parties that, while living standards matter most to voters, Britain desperately need to improve and restore standards in public life too
A document of our time
Praise for Chums:'Brilliant ... traces Brexit back to the debating chambers of the Oxford Union in the 1980s
An extraordinary book ... I got angrier and angrier and angrier as I read it
A searing onslaught on the smirking Oxford insinuation that politics is all just a game. It isn't. It matters
A sparkling firework of a book
Exquisite and depressing in equal measure
This is the best detailed but lucid account I have read of how corruption surged in the UK
The book to read on corruption in the UK
