Synopsis

This volume brings together economists and political scientists to present an assessment of the new government policies, known as "Thatcherism", which have dominated the 1980s. The papers presented here focus on the underlying political economy, and re-examine the role and purpose of the state in the economy. As well as examining the philosophical basis of state intervention, the volume attempts to set new ideas in an historical context and show how they have been translated into practice. To this end, a number of areas of policy - taxation, social security, nationalized industries, macro-economics and local government - are discussed in the latter part of the book.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

One of the central themes of politics in the 1980s was the rolling back of the state's economic borders, placing greater emphasis on the role of individual choice and markets allocating resources. This book is a collection of papers, largely specially commissioned, which assess this theme, and which have been written by economists and political scientists. * Contributors: Dieter Helm, Alan Ryan, Wilfred Beckerman, Amartya Sen, Partha Dasgupta, John Gray, Robert Skidelsky, Gillian Peele, Christopher Allsopp, John Kay, Andrew Dilnot, Colin Mayer, and Stephen Smith.

Revue de presse

`This book should be foremost on the reading list of Eastern European economists attempting to understand market economies.' Kyklos
