Description

Explore a landmark moment in British economic history with this volume from Cambridge University Press. The book examines the Thatcher government's 1981 Budget, a period when Keynesian counter-cyclical policies were discarded in favor of cutting the public sector deficit during the worst UK recession since the 1930s. This specially commissioned work analyzes the controversial argument that fiscal contraction could drive economic growth. By utilizing recently released archives and firsthand accounts from key figures within No. 10 Downing Street, HM Treasury, and the Bank of England, the contributors provide a comprehensive treatment of this era. It is an essential resource for understanding the shifting economic landscape and the decision-making processes that shaped modern British finance.
