Three decades after the election of Margaret Thatcher as Prime
Minister, it is perhaps time to take stock of the concept of
'Thatcherism' and the prominent role it has played in the history
of post-war Britain. Of course, there is much debate about what
Thatcherism actually was or is. Some commentators argue that
Thatcherism was more noteworthy for its rhetoric than for its
achievements. The welfare state, for example, emerged little
changed after eleven years of Thatcherism. Some historians
additionally suggest that other social forces that existed prior to
Thatcher will outlast her. Yet, whichever way one looks at it, the
Thatcherite project of the 1980s brought about a fundamental
reorganisation of much of the UK's social and economic life. Did
Thatcherite policies dramatically alter the trajectory of the
country's development? Can even long-term and seemingly enduring
path dependencies be altered as dramatically as claimed?. Ought
Thatcher's period in office be seen as a 'critical juncture' for
the UK? This book brings together a range of experts in housing,
economics, law and order, education, welfare, families, geography
and politics to discuss the enduring legacy of those social and
economic policies initiated by the first of the UK's New Right
governments (1979-1990).
