Interesting to read a book written by Brown when he was a young whippersnapper and 'one of the brightest Labour MPs of his generation'. He succeeds in dismantling some of the myths of Thatcher's era and in highlighting the dogmatism and ineptitude of the New Right, which did so much damage in the UK to society as well as the economy.

A rather dry recitation of arguments against Thatcherism from the late 1980s. It's interesting primarily for its status as a document on a then-current prime minister written by a future one, but in all honesty it isn't much of a read, consisting primarily of data tables and lists of import figures by country. (Evidently he was trying to capture the minds of the British public, rather than their hearts!)
