At the tender age of 30 Owen has already published two wildly successful books (Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class and The Establishment: And How They Get Away With It), been a columnist at two major publications (The Guardian and The Independent), and is considered a leading democratic political activist. In this clip Owen is chatting with Richard Bacon on spreading his ideas to the world and his thoughts on the celebrity status that’s sometimes associated with him. Owen also offer up a little tour of The Guardian publications office and delves into what has made him a success thus far in life, oddly enough, he credits “accidents” for the majority of his notoriety.
