Description

Explore the foundational era of economic change with The Official History of Privatisation Vol. I: The formative years 1970-1987. Published by Routledge, this first volume of the Government Official History series examines the background of privatisation and the actions taken by the first two Conservative Governments led by Margaret Thatcher from May 1979 to June 1987. Commissioned by former Prime Minister Tony Blair as an authoritative historical account, this text investigates whether privatisation was a deliberate policy commitment or an unplanned development. It provides a detailed analysis of why specific public corporations were sold during the early 1980s while other sales were delayed until the following decade. This volume serves as an essential resource for understanding the political and economic shifts that shaped modern governance.
