4 mai 1979 - Margaret Thatcher Elected

Description:

Margaret Thatcher served as the prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She rejected collectivisism and its emphasis on the redistribution of resources from rich to poor and government responsibility for full employment. Thatcherism fostered entrepreneurial values of individualism and competition over the solidarity of social classes and the tradition of noblesse oblige (the inferred responsibility of privileged people to act with generosity and nobility toward those less privileged).
