Engines of Privilege: Britain's Private School Problem is a book by Francis Green and David Kynaston about Private schools in the United Kingdom.[1] The authors argue that the "educational apartheid"[2][3] of independent (private) schools and state schools in the United Kingdom:
- prevents social mobility and meritocracy
- underpins damaging democratic deficit
- perpetuates privilege (and social inequality) through generations[4]
- deploys national resources unfairly and suboptimally
