Publisher's Synopsis
Much has changed in Britain since Margaret Thatcher came to power in May 1979 and consolidated her position with election victories in 1983 and 1987. But how much is attributable to her and how much would have happened anyway?;This book provides an analytic view of the social and political climate under Thatcherism. It addresses broad areas of concern - the economy, industrial decline, the public sector, privatization and popular capitalism, law and order, foreign policy, the machinery of government - and assesses what Mrs Thatcher has sought to do and what she has achieved.
