Born to rule : the making and remaking of the British elite

Reeves, Aaron S.2024
Book
"A data-rich analysis of how schooling influences the composition of past and current elite in Britain--who gets in, how they get there, what they like and look like, and the politics they perpetuate. In particular, the authors examine the influence of British public, private, and elite state schools on outcomes. The authors argue that a "meritocratic hubris" among elites perpetuates the misplaced belief that inequalities of outcome are fair. Their data suggests this is far from true"-- Provided by publisher.
