Continuity and change in British economic policymaking. Crisis, idea, and path dependence: theoretical framework and postwar Britain's changing political economy. Clement Attlee's postwar "settlement" (1945-1970): depression, war, Keynes, Beveridge, and a new consensus. Relative decline and the unraveling of consensus (1959-1979): from "having it so good: to the "winter of discontent". Margaret Thatcher's triumph (1975-1990): inflation, Hayek, and the overhaul of the British state. Thatcherism's flaws and Tony blair's consolidation (1987-2005): from the Lawson boom to New Labour's "New Britain". Conclusion: made in Britain. Postscript: Gordon Brwon, the "Great Recession," and the future of neoliberalism |
