A Neoliberal Revolution?: Thatcherism and the Reform of British Pensions

by Lecturer in Digital Humanities University of Bristol James Freeman, Hugh Pemberton, Career Development Fellow in Modern History Jesus College University of Oxford Aled Davies

A neoliberal revolution? examines the Thatcher government's attempt to privatise and individualise Britain's pension system, thereby transforming workers into risk-taking savers with a stake in capitalism. The book explains why this revolution failed and charts the malign legacy left by the evolutionary reforms which ministers salvaged from it.
