About the event

Born to Rule - The inaugural Chartist Legacy Lecture - with Professor Sam Friedman (LSE)
Born to Rule

The inaugural Chartist Legacy Lecture

Delivered by Professor Sam Friedman (London School of Economics)

In today’s era of supposed equal opportunity, how much power and influence is still passed down through generations of Britain’s traditional elite families? To what extent do those born into wealth and privilege continue to monopolise the country’s most senior positions?


In the first Chartist Legacy Lecture, renowned sociologist and author Prof. Sam Friedman will reveal new research on how the old elite reproduce themselves across the years – and how this may be distorting our modern democracy. (The lecture will be followed by an open forum on the key issues raised by Prof. Friedman’s research.)


At the University of South Wales, Newport Campus.
