Owen Jones
Journalist, author and commentator Owen Jones (Chavs, The Establishment) discusses his provocative new book The Fall of the West, exploring what he describes as an era of political, economic and social crisis.
Challenging popular explanations centred on culture wars and migration, Owen argues that today's turmoil stems from decades of decisions made by Western elites pursuing power and self-interest.
Exploring democracy, foreign policy and political leadership, this will be a dynamic conversation connecting global events to the issues affecting our lives today.
Born in Sheffield and raised in Stockport, Owen Jones is one of the UK's most influential political writers and commentators.
He is the bestselling author of The Establishment and Chavs, writes regularly for The Guardian, and hosts The Owen Jones Show and The Owen Jones Podcast.
