In 1979, Margaret Thatcher's new government pursued a monetarist economic policy in response to double-digit inflation, rising unemployment and flatlining economic growth. Tim Lankester's insider's account offers fascinating insights into one of Britain's most unsuccessful economic episodes and also examines monetarism's legacy today.
