Book description
In 1086 the Domesday Survey charted Britain’s power structure. It found the rich man in his high castle and the poor man at his gate. Nine centuries later only the cast has changed.
After a two-hundred-year stint as the workshop of the world, industrial Britain is finished. As the once solid manufacturing base shatters into permanent unemployment and street war, two strong areas of stability and profit remain – land and the new information technologies.
In this scathingly controversial survey, economist and broadcaster James Bellini argues that Britain is splitting into two nations: one for lords in computer castles and the one for rack-rent serfs. The division has already begun. In the new feudal state Britons can be slaves.
