This book examines the Conservative Party's period in opposition between 1974 and 1979, focusing on the development of policy in a number of important areas. It explains how Conservative policy changed and why it changed in the ways that it did, before going on to draw wider conclusions about Thatcherism and Britain in the 1970s. The central argument is that although this period has often been seen as one of significant change, if it is examined in detail then much of this change appears modest and complex. In order to understand this period we need to have an appreciation of the intellectual, economic and social contexts of the time. However, this book argues that the short term political context was most important of all, and helps to explain why Conservative policy did not change as much as might be expected. | The making of Thatcherism by Philip Begley, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
