Tim Lankester's book provides an insider's account of Margaret Thatcher's economic policy and its disastrous consequences, offering valuable insights into the legacy of monetarism for the economy today.

Format: Hardback
Length: 240 pages
Publication date: 21 May 2024
Publisher: Bristol University Press


Margaret Thatcher's new government in 1979 faced significant challenges, including rampant double-digit inflation, rising unemployment, and flatlining economic growth. In response, Thatcher pursued an economic policy that rejected the old orthodoxies and was promoted by only a minority of economists: a policy based on the doctrine of monetarism. Tim Lankester, who served as Thatcher's private secretary for economic affairs during the early years of her government, provides an insider's account of her attitudes and decisions, as well as those of the other main players in this deeply damaging experiment in economic policy making. His book offers fascinating insights into one of the most unsuccessful episodes of British economic history and examines the legacy of monetarism for the economy today.
