First published in 1990, Global Capitalism and National Decline is a major contribution to the study of British political and economic decline. The author concentrates on the global nature of capitalism as the context for the development of national capitalism, and on the relationship between internal and external factors. A long-term view of British politics enables him to demonstrate that competing popular explanations of Britain’s crisis and the rise of Thatcherism in response to it, are in fact interconnected. The long decline of Britain originating in the 19th century, the inherent weakness of the post-1945 settlement, and the critical events of 1970s, acquire their fullest meaning when seen as different ‘layers’ of one and the same historical process. Henk Overbeek takes the story of Britain’s decline through to Margaret Thatcher’s tenth anniversary in office. His book will be invaluable to scholars and students of economics, politics, and history. it offers a clear perspective on the problems of national decline within a global context, and on Britain’s position in Europe and in the wider world.
This first volume of Margaret Thatcher's memoirs encompasses the whole of her time as Prime Minister - the formation of her goals in the early 1980s, the Falklands, the General Election victories of 1983 and 1987 and, eventually, the circumstances of her fall from political power. She also gives frank accounts of her dealings with foreign statesmen and her own ministers.
Addresses the question of whether there was a distinctive Anglo-American Conservative revolution under Reagan and Thatcher, and examines the political elites, political ideas and policy communities animating the Anglo-American right wing during the 1980s.
A collection of the best pieces from the "Spectator" in the last decade. The perceptive commentary vividly recaptures the events and themes of the 1980s. The figure of Thatcher is given particular attention - her policies, her leadership and why she has dominated for 10 years.
This book situates the controversial Thatcher era in the political, social, cultural and economic history of modern Britain.
