What kind of revolution? -- The conservative ascendancy : the pattern of British politics 1979-1990 -- The Thatcher cabinets and governments, her court, and 'an old whore of a party' -- The economic liberal crusades I : the quest for an economic renaissance -- The economic liberal crusades II : the recasting of the welfare state -- The economic liberal crusades III : the reconstruction of the civil service -- The economic liberal crusades IV : the confrontation with local government -- The governments of the Iron Lady and the defence of the national interest -- The unfinished revolution.
Summary: "The Thatcher era was the most dramatic period in British politics since the 1940s. The Keynesian order established then was falling apart thirty years later and the time had come for radical change. As Conservative Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher proved to be the "Iron Lady" at home and abroad. Trade union power was crushed as her Governments strove to bring about an economic renaissance and to reshape the Welfare State, the Civil Service, and local government. This book analyses the politics of the Thatcher era in an incisive and challenging manner."--Publisher description.
