Baroness Thatcher dies

Margaret Thatcher died of a stroke this morning at the age of 87 after many years of ill health. The Conservative politician, pictured left with her husband Denis and right with David Cameron, was the UK's first female Prime Minister, serving from 1979 to 1990. Her spokesman Lord Bell said: 'It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning.'

Damn right. Reagan/Thatcher have now both passed on, but their awful ideas unfortunately haven't.

The thing is Reagan/Thatcher would have never been popular if Keynesian economics was conducted properly during the 70s.

During the 50s and 60s when technology was developing rapidly and there were plenty of resources a recession may well be due to a lack of "aggregate demand", during the 70s however with the oil crisis, competition from a recovered Europe and Asian Tigers and a relative slowdown in the pace of technological change of big engineering projects (look how jet liners changed from 1950 to 1970 to 1990) this was certainly not the case and the same policies led to stagflation. During a supply shock you need to rely on the credit you prudently built up during the boom years, stabilize prices and keep the economy lean so that it makes efficient use of limited resource and you need to do this as early as possible before debt builds up and economic bubbles form.

Previous governments failed on all counts, as a result the problem grew until the public had enough and Reagan/Thatcher were swept into election victories with their hardline approach to solving the problem.

In hindsight the poll tax might have been a bit hashed and she could have gradually implemented monetarism instead of cutting millions of people off suddenly, but otherwise she had the right ideas and was one of the few people with the ovaries to implement them.

Another thing is also PRC enacted market reforms under Deng Xiaoping (which is considered a radical revisionist event according to hardline Maoists) and China became the world's manufacturer for cheap junk. In turn, manufacturing in the West declined which has also heavily contributed to the problem.
