In 'Who Runs Britain?', Robert Peston unveils the hidden story of Britain's new ruling class. This book explores the widening gap between the super-rich and the rest of society, challenging the idea that the financial creativity of those amassing these fortunes benefits the wider economy. Peston examines how the seeds of the Northern Rock collapse and financial market upheavals were sown years earlier, offering essential insight into 21st-century casino capitalism.
