Abstract
This chapter examines the representation, values and legitimation in ’the city’, paying particular attention to London and reviewing a popular reality TV show: The Apprentice. The chapter frames the show as a morality tale akin to Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1973). Closer analysis highlights the show’s engagements with rhetorics of legitimation and ethos in ’the city’ and applying frames outlined in Boltanski and Chiapello (2005). The chapter adds to wider interdisciplinary analyis of London and recession, in the context of a book that examines the impact of the recession and discusses London’s future trajectory as an entrepreneurial city and capital of the United Kingdom.
