Book Description:
|
A neoliberal revolution? examines the Thatcher government's attempt to privatise and individualise Britain's pension system, thereby transforming workers into risk-taking savers with a stake in capitalism. The book explains why this revolution failed and charts the malign legacy left by the evolutionary reforms which ministers salvaged from it.
