Catalogue Note:A flawless, publisher-fresh paperback copy of Owen Jones’ bestselling structural critique of British democracy. Named a Book of the Year by both The Guardian and The New Statesman, this volume has been immaculately preserved since production. The softcovers are bright and completely pristine, featuring razor-sharp corners and zero surface scuffing. The spine is perfectly rigid, square, and uncreased, with internal pages that remain crisp, white, and completely untouched. Superb, premium retail condition.
Behind the public-facing machinery of modern democracy lurks a powerful but unaccountable network of wealthy elites who wield massive influence and reap astronomical profits. In this gripping and fiercely argued exposé, investigative journalist Owen Jones charts the realities of power in contemporary Britain.
From the corporate-funded think tanks pushing the boundaries of policy to the revolving doors connecting Westminster politicians, powerful media moguls, and the financial trading floors of the City, Jones maps a complex system built to serve vested interests. The Establishment connects the dots to demonstrate how a wealthy minority systematically shapes public thought, dictates national policy, and successfully avoids accountability—posing what he argues is the single greatest threat to true democracy today.

Book Condition Guide
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| New | A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage. |
| As New | The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years. |
| Fine | The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked. |
| Near Fine | The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition. |
| Very Good | The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present. |
| Good | A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy. |
| Fair | A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity. |
| Poor | A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance. |
