- Title:
- Brighton on the Rocks: Monetarism and the Local State
- Description:
- Brighton on the Rocks is the result of two years of work looking into the theory and impacts of monetarism, an economic strategy practiced by Margaret Thatcher’s government in the 1980s. Through photographs, charts, statistics, and interviews, the book concludes that monetarism has benefited those that do not need help, and has negatively impacted working-class communities. Brighton on the Rocks exposes the monetarist myth that public spending is wasteful, and goes on to identify the real ways that readers can resist monetarist policy. The back of the book includes a dictionary of important economic terms. Brighton on the Rocks gives a nuanced analysis of the effect of Thatcher's policies on the working class, and exposes the holes in monetarist rhetoric.
