My point wasn't about whether the changes of Thatcher (or Reagan) were good or bad. More that I don't really think they can be called free market.

Union busting might look like it's "capitalism" but true capitalism means that workers are free to collectively organize and bargain.


In the case of Reagan federal spending was about $591 billion in 1980 and $1.14 trillion in 1989.

So much as "true communism hasn't been tried", "true capitalism" has also not been tried.

High taxing, high spending cronyism focused on corporate benefit truly is the worst of both worlds.
