Much is made of 'Thatcherism' as some counter-revolutionary force on behalf of Capital, widely acclaimed by its supporters as saving Britain for capitalism , or turning it around from disaster. But the reality was is that Thatcherism was just one strand of a general sea change in economic strategy forced on Capital by the crisis that major capitalist economies had got into by the end of the 1970s....Thatcher did her job of destroying millions of Britons' jobs, incomes and lives with enthusiasm, dedication and arrogance. But in the interests of capitalism, there was no alternative (TINA). http://thenextrecession.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/thatcher-there-was-no-alternative/ _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
