'A neoliberal revolution? Thatcherism and the reform of British pensions'
by @aled_r_davies @jgfreeman & @hugh_pemberton

📘https://t.co/JQnKczKDDP

This new book examines the Thatcher government’s attempt to privatise and individualise Britain’s pension system, thereby transforming workers into risk-taking savers with a stake in capitalism.
