Wealth, influence, and class: the British elite explained
Contributor(s): | Do today’s power brokers in Britain continue to be born to privilege and anointed at Eton and Oxford? Or is a new progressive elite emerging with different values and political instincts?
In search of an answer, Aaron Reeves and Sam Friedman scrutinised the profiles, interests, and careers of over 125,000 members of the British elite from the late 1890s to today. Their findings offer an insight into who gets in, how they get there, what they like and look like, where they go to school, and what politics they perpetuate.
