<p><b>A <i>Financial Times</i> Summer Read 2025<br>A BBC Radio 4 'Book of the Week'<br><br>'Essential reading' </b>- <i>The Daily Telegraph</i><br><b>'Not just well timed but admirably powerful' </b>-<i> The Guardian</i><br><b>'Packed with revealing content' </b>- <i>Independent</i><br><br><b><i>Underdogs</i></b><b> is a surprising journey into the heart of the misunderstood white working class. And it might just change how you see Britain.</b><br><br>Brexit helped to turn the white working class into a social and political force, but in its aftermath one-third of the population has been reduced to a caricature. Portrayed as angry and hostile to change, as xenophobic, even racist, it's a tired narrative favoured by both politicians and the press. The truth is far more compelling.<br><br>In <i>Underdogs, Economist</i> journalist Joel Budd takes us across the UK, from Teesside to the Isle of Wight, from the Valleys of South Wales to the fields of Lincolnshire, talking with a diverse group of people about their jobs, their families and neighbourhoods, their struggles and hopes.<br><br>Offering an eye-opening corrective to the familiar stereotype, Budd shows that white working- class people are not just grumbling about the transformation of Britain. Instead, with warmth and determination, they are pushing the country forward.</p>
