Recenzii

“This wide-ranging coverage of Conservative economic policymaking is based on a broad and impressive array of primary sources. … This book is an essential contribution to the incipient historical debate on the Thatcher governments, which challenges the assumption that Thatcherism existed as a novel and coherent political-economic project prior to 1979. Furthermore, it provides a solid foundation for future research into the development of the Conservative party’s radical approach to economic policymaking in government during the 1980s.” (Aled Davies, Twentieth Century British History, Vol. 28 (1), March, 2017)
