  • Summary

  • We begin episode two after the 1979 election when Margaret Thatcher became prime minister. Was she a radical with a pragmatic streak? What was the nature of the sweeping changes that she brought about? We focus on early monetarism and its consequences, the lifting of exchange controls, the sale of council homes, privatisation, the miners’ strike, the poll tax, and much more. Episode one began with her election as leader 50 years ago this month. The final episode will analyse her fall, the legacy and the continuing impact of her time in office.
