"The British character has been formed by a long history of self-reliance and independence."
"It is not the creation of wealth that is wrong, but the love of money for its own sake."
"I came to office with one paramount aim: to change the national mood. From despondency to hope, from dependency to self-reliance."
"I will stay and fight for as long as I feel it is right to do so."
About Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013)
British Prime Minister (1979-1990) whose free-market reforms and confrontation with trade unions defined the late-20th-century right. Closely associated with Ronald Reagan (her closest international ally). For an intellectual contrast, see Tony Benn, Labour cabinet minister and democratic-socialist figurehead — Benn was the loudest parliamentary opposition to Thatcherism throughout the 1980s. His diaries and Thatcher's autobiography are the two opposing histories of the period — Britain's class politics is structured around which view was right.
