Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1979, Margaret Thatcher’s new government was faced with rampant double-digit inflation, rising unemployment and flatlining economic growth. In response, Thatcher pursued an economic policy which rejected the old orthodoxies and was promoted by only a minority of economists: a policy based on the doctrine of monetarism. Tim Lankester was the private secretary for economic affairs to Thatcher during the early years of her government. His insider’s account explains her attitudes and decisions and those of the other main players in this deeply damaging experiment in economic policy making, which promised much but completely failed to deliver. Offering fascinating insights into one of the most unsuccessful episodes of British economic history, he also examines the legacy of monetarism for the economy today.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This widely acclaimed book critically assesses the attempts to put the various 'conservative economic' theories into practice. It identifies the disparate and often conflicting elements of the new economic philosophy including monetarism, 'supply-side' economics and the new classical economics. It distinguishes the purely macroeconomic parts of the strategy from those with a more microeconomic focus such as deregulation and privatization. It makes a detailed comparison of the very different directions which the 'conservative revolution' has taken in Britain and the United States, and suggests some alternative policy principles for the future.
