Chapter 6 in Conservative Party Economic Policy, 2013, pp 178-188 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This book has looked to achieve two main things. First, it has attempted to provide an analysis of the Conservative Party’s making of economic policies, from its period in opposition under Edward Heath through to the fall of John Major’s government in 1997. Second, it has tried to place the post-1997 period of Conservative Party political economy into its historical context. In light of these objectives, this concluding chapter has been divided into two main sections. The first section draws together the analysis carried out in Chapters 2, 3 and 4 and presents some firm conclusions about how the Conservatives chose to construct and implement economic policies between 1964 and 1997. The second section considers the future of the Conservative Party’s political economy in light of the development of the party’s outlook on economic matters since 1964, as well as the events of the present day.
