Thatcherism

Revision with unchanged content. In the face of unemployment rates around 13%, Germans tend to peer over enviously to Great Britain¿s flourishing eco­nomy and think to themselves: ¿What do they do differently?¿. The examination of the politics of Thatcher and her succes­sors provides an answer to this question. Sebastian Hensch­ke describes coherently and intelligibly what Thatcherism is, what its effects were and what parts of it are still in effect to­day. It is also discussed if elements of the British economic policy could be transferred to Germany resp. to what extent this is being done already. Subject to scrutiny are the econo­mic systems, policies and particularly the different characteri­stics of the business locations Germany and Great Britain. For anyone interested in labour market policies and their ef­fects in different countries, this book will be worth while.
