‘The latest in the series of powerful books on the divisions in modern Britain, and will take its place on many bookshelves beside Reni Eddo-Lodge’s Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race and Owen Jones’s Chavs.’–Andrew Marr, Sunday Times

‘In his fascinating, enraging polemic, Verkaik touches on one of the strangest aspects of the elite schools and their product’s domination of public life for two and a half centuries: the acquiescence of everyone else.’–Observer

We think inequality is an important topic in Britain, and it has been for a while. We also agree with Robert Verkaik that, if we do want to solve the problems we have, we need to look at our elite public schools. If only because they keep churning out Prime Ministers that do us no favours.

Posh Boys is a very detailed in-depth review of public schools and offers some potential solutions to the problems with them. It was useful to us to put some thought behind the actual facts behind the feelings we had behind those institutions.
