Who Runs This Place? The Anatomy Of Britain In The 21st Century

By Anthony Sampson
Who really holds the reins of power in Britain today? How can ordinary people make their leaders more accountable? These familiar questions are now urgent. The peaks of both government and finance have become much weaker; the costs of wrong decisions have often proved disastrous to the public.
In this intensely topical book, fully updaed in paperback, Anthony Sampson dissects the whole panoply of power, from an embattled Number Ten to the murky intelligence spooks, from corporate boardrooms to banks and pension funds. He uses his unique access to those at the top to get the inside story. Who Runs This Place? Is for anyone who wants to understand the institutions and careers they are choosing, and the bosses who will influence their whole future.. And it comes at a time when the British people are clamouring to the comprehend the secretive groups that pull the lever behind the facades. It is essential reading.
