One the central themes of the series concerns the strategies that disadvantaged and subaltern groups are forced to innovate and to adopt in order to survive in a society marked by massive disparities of wealth and power.

It's not The Borrible Trilogy by Michael de Larrabeiti, is it? The three books are The Borribles, The Borribles Go for Broke, and The Borribles: Across the Dark Metropolis. Set in London and the books were written as a response to the political climate in Thatcher's Britain.
