In 'The Establishment: And How They Get Away With It' (Allen Lane) Owen Jones analyses the people and institutions that govern our lives – government, the media, the banks and the accountancy firms – and exposes usually invisible networks that bind them together.

Owen joined Paul Myerscough at the Bookshop to present his argument, and to debate its implications.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
