Recommendation
In the early 20th century, English author P.G. Wodehouse wrote a series of stories about Jeeves, an extremely competent valet who keeps his wealthy and harebrained charge out of trouble. Today, argues journalist Oliver Burrough, Britain itself has become a kind of Jeeves to the world’s wealthy – whether their riches are acquired legitimately or not. In this well-structured examination of the ways Britain has bent over backward to cater to capital, Burrough effectively shows how this servility has negatively affected Britons’ daily lives and undermined democracy, both at home and abroad.
