Thatcherism Special

In 1925, on the 13th October, a daughter was born to Alfred Roberts and his wife Beatrice Stephenson - she was named Margaret Hilda Roberts. The world would get to know her as Mrs Thatcher or ‘The Iron Lady’ and 100 years later, whether you loved or hated her, she is still being discussed and her influence is evident in the economics and politics of today. In this special episode by Pete and Gav, your friendly neighbourhood economists, you will dive into the economics of ‘Thatcherism’ and discover what made her economic world tick! Not only you will learn about MV=PT and the Laffer Curve but you’ll also be able to hear two limericks about her rise and fall and have a go at the obligatory quiz. Technical support comes from Nic, the Norman Tebbit of the team!!!
