A body of literature has been built on how a sharp turn to the right by the Conservative Party during the 1980s - inspired by the likes of Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek - acted as one of the key stepping stones to the turbo-charged capitalism and globalization of our modern world. But how neoliberal was Thatcherism? The link between ideas and the Thatcher government has frequently been over-generalized and under-specified. Existing accounts tend to characterize neoliberalism as a homogeneous, and often ill-defined, group of thinkers that exerted a broad influence over the Thatcher government. In particular, this study explores how Margaret Thatcher approached special interest groups, a core neoliberal concern. The results demonstrate a willingness to utilize the state, often in contradictory ways, to pursue apparently more market orientated policies. This book - through a combination of archival research, interviews and examination of neoliberal thought itself - defines the dominant strains of neoliberalism more clearly and explores their relationship with Thatcherism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51813669896480,"sku":"NEW0367349418","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91J-43RtvlL.jpg?v=1781036372","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/neoliberal-thought-and-thatcherism-a-transition-from-here-to-there-routledge-studies-in-modern-british-history-0367349418","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
