system  and every day I see how fairness is not guaranteed. Too often the system fails those it

daily life to show you how the system is broken  who broke it and why we should start caring
before it's too late. A Sunday Times top ten bestseller for twenty-four weeks. 'Eye-opening 
funny and horrifying' - Observer 'Everyone who has any interest in public life should read it'
