Thatcher and Thatcherism

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

"Thatcherism produced dramatic changes in most aspects of public life, both in Britain and abroad. Thatcher and Thatcherism surveys the origins and impact of Thatcherism as a cultural construct and an economic creed. Centering on the career of Margaret Thatcher, the author argues that Thatcherism was a bold experiment in ideologically driven government that failed to meet its objectives while nevertheless decisively shifting the political landscape of Britain."--Jacket.
