    Thatcherism:Mark Two

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/jul/04/osborne-markets-fiscal-recovery Have to say I've long been a great fan of William Keegan's excellent economic journalism in The Observer and was pleased to see him on Sky news earlier today developing the ideas contained in this astute article.
