Over dit product

Product Information

The Summer of 2016 revealed a crisis in Britain's political, economic and media elite. Once successful leaders were dropping everywhere. These multiple crises at the top are no coincidence. The roots go back several years. We have been producing a generation of leaders who, regardless of intent, are short-term, precarious, ignorant, un-rooted and self-serving. This isn't a matter of a few deficient personalities. It's a structural problem that has developed over decades. The central theme of the book is that: the British elite has lost control. They can earn more than ever before and their decisions have powerful consequences that are widely felt. They are highly skilled when it comes to pursuing their own self-interests. But, they are also rather less able to exert control or predict the consequences of their actions. What is best for them can often be bad for their organisation, their employees or publics. These failings have an increasingly devastating effect on society and the wider public.

Reviews

'An indispensable addition to elite scholarship that was decades in the making and arrives not a minute too soon. As the West continues to quake in the face of "populist" furore, Aeron Davis's deft analysis of his "barbarians inside the gate" shows an establishment torn asunder. Scholars and pundits trying to make sense of the establishment overthrow in the West will ignore Reckless opportunists at their own peril'. Janine R. Wedel, Professor in the Schar School of Policy and Government, George Mason University 'Aeron Davis has spent two decades talking to members of the financial, political, and media elites - and here he lines them all up to explain how they've created the debacle that is Brexit Britain.' Aditya Chakrabortty, Senior Economics Commentator, The Guardian 'Aeron Davis's new book on the Establishment re-writes the rules of the genre. He is a rare thing, a critical outsider who has managed to gain extensive insider access. His close-up accounts offer fascinating new insights into the apparent dysfunction of modern politics.' Iain Dale, political commentator, publisher, LBC broadcaster 'Chaos often feels like the best word to describe the world my generation is inheriting. Reckless Opportunists shines a light on how the decay of the Establishment feeds that chaos. It's terrifying but it also gives me hope that a different and better world is possible.' Joe Earle, author of The Econocracy 'Aeron Davis pulls back the curtain on the wizards of Oz who rule us. And having studied them for decades he tells their story brilliantly. They were never as good as we were led to believe.' Danny Dorling, Professor of Geography, University of Oxford, "Chaos often feels like the best word to describe the world my generation is inheriting. Reckless Opportunists shines an illuminating light on how the decay of the Establishment feeds that chaos. It's terrifying but it also gives me hope that a different and better world is possible." - Joe Earle, author of The Econocracy "Aeron Davis pulls back the curtain on the wizards of Oz who rule us. And having studied them for decades he tells their story brilliantly. They were never as good as we were lead to believe. Leadership doesn't have to be solitary, rich, nasty, brutish and short. It can be connected, modestly-paid, nice, civilized and long. And that would be pretty beneficial to everyone else too." - Danny Dorling Professor of Geography at the University of Oxford "Aeron Davis's new book on the Establishment re-writes the rules of the genre. He is a rare thing, a critical outsider who has managed to gain extensive insider access. His close-up accounts offer fascinating new insights into the apparent dysfunction of modern politics and sometimes the dysfunctionality of modern day politicians." - Iain Dale, political commentator, publisher, LBC broadcaster "An indispensable addition to elite scholarship that was decades in the making and arrives not a minute too soon. As the West continues to quake in the face of "populist" furor, Aeron Davis's deft analysis of his "barbarians inside the gate" shows an establishment torn asunder. Confounding past assumptions of both the left and right, Davis weaves the reader through the top corridors of U.K. power, and finds an elite that is "precarious, rootless and increasingly self-serving." Scholars and pundits trying to make sense of the establishment overthrow in the West will ignore Reckless Opportunists at their own peril." - Janine. R. Wedel, author of UNACCOUNTABLE: How the Establishment Corrupted Our Finances, Freedom, and Politics and Created an Outsider Class and University Professor in the Schar School of Policy and Government, George Mason University "Aeron Davis has spent two decades talking to members of the financial, political, and media elites - and here he lines them all up to explain how they've created the debacle that is Brexit Britain. The company boss says he may himself be sacked at any moment. The prize-winning journalist worries over why he hasn't got the story everyone else apparently has. And the law-maker admits he hasn't a clue about the laws he's passing. And the only thing stopping them carrying on like this forever is bad luck - or a better democracy." - Aditya Chakrabortty, Senior Economics Commentator The Guardian, 'An indispensable addition to elite scholarship that was decades in the making and arrives not a minute too soon.
