More from Margaret Thatcher
"I just owe my father everything. He brought me up to believe that I was always going to be able to do anything I wanted to do. He was a very remarkable man."
"The British people want to be free to make their own choices, to take their own risks, and to reap their own rewards."
"The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation."
"I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left."
"Britain's decline is not inevitable. It is a choice."
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.
