Abstract: This article makes the case for a nuanced and historically informed analysis of Mrs Thatcher's legacy for the public sector, which distinguishes between shocks and continuities, and gives due weight to particular political economic features of the British state. We conclude with an assessment of the material and ideological legacy.
