Forging the Iron Lady details her journey from relative obscurity to the pinnacle of power as a collective, as well as personal, tale and how an uncertain chain of events, influenced through ideas and political agency, opened the path to certain outcomes while throwing up barriers to others. It is her "origin story" as the Iron Lady. It examines a dramatic phase in her political advance and how the tumultuous politics of the 1970s shaped her as a politician and her political ideals, and how the conditions necessary to bring about major political-economic changes were created, leading to three decades of neoliberalism. In doing so, this book offers a better understanding of the political conditions needed for a change in political-economic orders.
This book is of key interest to scholars, students, and readers of British politics and history, Thatcherism, political parties, elections, executive, and elite politics.
Reviews / Votes
"An excellent study of the indispensable politician of the post-war era... Casey succeeds in highlighting the necessary origin story of Thatcher and Thatcherism... Forging the Iron Lady will be studied by historians and political scientists for many years to come."Matt Beech, University of Hull, UK, and UC Berkeley, USA
"...Rich in detail, beautifully written, and with new archival evidence to bolster his argument, Casey's book is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the rise and fall of neoliberalism as well as the possibilities for economic policy today."
Matthias M. Matthijs, Johns Hopkins University, USA
"Too often those who applaud or attack Thatcherism do so with crude cut-out-and-keep portrayals of the Iron Lady... As Casey shows, only by understanding the tumultuous era that forged the Iron Lady can her legacy be successfully rescinded, recast, or renewed."
Tim Oliver, Loughborough University London, UK

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
