Opis

Situating Britain's new towns programme of urban development within a global context, Thatcher's Progress revises our understanding of the welfare state. Guy Ortolano reveals a dynamic social democracy during its decade of crisis, while also showing how public sector actors begrudgingly accommodated the alternative politics of market liberalism.
