a broad balance between a capitalist or market economy

- What is One Nation conservatism
- It is an pragmatic and paternalistic form
of conservatism that was prominent
during the 1950s and 1960s.

early writings of Benjamin Disraeli, Disraeli
arned aginst the dangers of Britian being
divided into "two nations: the rich and the poor".
- His call for social reform to narrow (but not remove) social
inequalities was based on the principles of paternalism. The rich

- Thatcherism
- What is Thatcherism
- Thstcherism does not so much constitute
a coherent and systematic philosophy as
an attempt to many two distinct tradtions.
- Although there is political and ideological
tensions between these distinct, they can be
combined in support of the goals of a strong but
minimal state: "the free market and a strong state"
- The two elements
within Thatcherism are:
- Neoliberalism this is an updated version of
classical liberalism. Its central pillars are the
free market and the self-reliant individual
- Neoconservatism, this is a form of authoritarian
conservatism that calls for a restoration of
order, authority and discipline in society

- Thstcherism does not so much constitute

- The central themes of
"economic Thatcherism" were:
- Reduced union power
- The "problem" of the unions power was tackled by a series of laws
that restricted the ability of unions to take industrial action. such
measures both created a more flexible labour market and led to
the growth of Low-wage and low-skill economy in many sectors

most of the industries that had been nationalized during the 20th century;
examples included telecommunication, gas electricity, water, steel, buses
and railways. the state lost control of major UK industries state"

- Low taxes

- Reduced union power
- The central themes of
"social Thatcherism" were:
- "Tough" law and order

fear of punishment, reflected in the belied that "prison works".

- One of the enemies of social thatcherism was the
spread of liberal or permissive values, associated
in particular with the 1960s. Instead, tradtional,
"Christian" or "family" values were defended.

- National patriotism
- Thatcherites placed a particular stress on strengthening
national identity, seen as one of the cornerstones of
political strength and social stability. Over time, this came
increasingly to be expressed in the form of euroscepticism
