Reagan & Thatcher: The Balance Sheet

REAGAN & THATCHER: THE BALANCE SHEET

Look here upon this picture and on this. While, in Washington, an apparently enfeebled Ronald Reagan presides over a beleaguered Administration, Margaret Thatcher in London dominates a remarkably homogeneous government which, although of course vulnerable to chance, change, and folly, remains for the moment in almost complete control of the political field. Just as there have always been interesting similarities between these two ostensibly conservative regimes, so the difference in their positions now may be worth examining.
