Synopsis

The authors radically re-assess the conventional wisdom that Britain is a model of a stable democracy in the light of the economic transformation wrought by politicians supporting the economic theories of Hayek and Friedman. They demonstrate that the "rolling back of the state" in economic terms has become dependent on increasingly coercive measures to cope with the pressure of high unemployment, declining standards of living, diminished welfare benefits and social unrest.
