The City’s Place in the World

Abstract

It is no accident that the recent radical shake-up in Britain’s financial structure has occurred during the premiership of that tough challenger of established practices, Mrs Margaret Thatcher. Reshaping the City of London was scarcely a top aim when Mrs Thatcher’s Conservative government won power in 1979, though another financial objective, squeezing inflation through ‘monetary’ means, was. But questioning of long-established systems generally stood high on the agenda of this first British woman Prime Minister who, asked after ten years of party leadership what she had changed, answered simply, ‘Everything’.
