"The working class has become an object of fear and ridicule. Media and politicians alike dismiss as feckless, criminalized and ignorant a vast, underprivileged swathe of society whose members have become stereotyped by one hate-filled word: chavs.
In this acclaimed investigation, Owen Jones explores how the working class has gone from 'salt of the earth' to 'scum of the earth'. Chavs is a powerful, illuminating and disturbing portrait of inequality and class hatred in modern Britain."
