This revised, expanded and updated fourth edition of Thatcher and
Thatcherism examines the origins and impact of 'Thatcherism' both
as a cultural construct and an economic creed from the 1970s to the
formation of a coalition government in 2010. New to this edition is
an extended exploration of Thatcher's impact outside of the UK, as
well as an examination of the assessments published following her
death in 2013, providing students with a greater understanding of
the legacy of Thatcherism within the modern political landscape.
Focusing on the career of Margaret Thatcher, Eric J. Evans
questions both the originality and the ideological coherence of
what came to be called 'Thatcherism' and considers to what extent
it met, or failed to meet, its main objectives. Key topics
discussed within the book include: Privatisation policies and the
attack on trade union power and influence; How Thatcher changed and
controlled the late twentieth-century Conservative Party; The
legacy of the Falklands War; Thatcher's relations with Europe -
East and West; Thatcher's approach to the professional ethic; The
influence of Thatcherism on succeeding governments: Major and 'New
Labour'; Neo-liberalism and its influence on, and under, Thatcher.
With comprehensive suggestions for further reading and explanation
of the economic, social and historical context of Britain in the
late 1970s and 1980s, Thatcher and Thatcherism is an invaluable
guide to the complexities and paradoxes of Britain from the late
1970s to the second decade of the twenty-first century.
