Competition: Win a copy of Jilted Generation

Friday, 29 October 2010 12:00 AM

politics.co.uk is giving you the opportunity to win one of five copies of 'Jilted Generation: How Britain Has Bankrupted Its Youth', by Ed Howker and Shiv Malik.

Drawing upon their own startling new research and writing with an irresistible polemical energy, the two twenty-something journalists argue that, in sharp contrast to their parents' generation, millions of young Britons today face the most uncertain future since the 1930's.

Radical, angry and passionate, Jilted Generation takes a closer look at who is to blame for locking out Britain's youth - and leaving our country not just broken but broke.
