A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024
At a time when democracy feels threatened, Simon Kuper is fighting hard for a better vision of politics - he is brutally honest about our problems but never loses hope that we can build a better democracy.
According to New Statesman, this book offers 'an intelligible, compelling and enraging narrative ... how the Good Chaps get away with it.' The 'Good Chaps' theory suggests that those who rise to power in the UK can be trusted to follow the rules and do the right thing. Yet, it seems that bad chaps have taken over, with politics rampant in financial scandals, donors essentially owning shares in political parties, and a blatant disregard for the rules.
Simon Kuper, author of the Sunday Times Top Ten bestseller Chums, reveals how corruption has seized control of public life and poses the question: how can we get politicians to behave like good chaps again?
