So, are you saying that the UK ****ed up the whole thing by forgetting to reduce tax to 20%, one of the key aspects of the whole theory?

Disco, it depends on how you look at it:

From the overall economic viewpoint? NO. The UK economy benefited as a whole.

From the moral viewpoint of the workers (such as Liverpool) that got displaced and had to endure "personal tragedies"? YES If Thatcher had implemented Friedman's negative income tax system, then those displaced workers would have benefited ENORMOUSLY.

From the moral viewpoint of the all the workers in the world? NO Again, see my reply to Le Chacal on the dangers of invoking morality on one side only.

Fair enough, don't really remember enough about it to debate any of that, and I sense this discussion is as welcome as a fart in an elevator.

PS You're very brave to indirectly suggest that the personal tragedies in Liverpool were for the better of all workers in the world.... on a Liverpool website

I HONESTLY was not aware that the city of Liverpool had suffered so much from Thatcher's policies. I am sorry if I pissed people off here - I didn't write all the stuff to piss you guys off. Obviously, I would have been a lot more careful if I had known about it.

But now I know about it, I'll be more considerate.

Well, unemployment reached over 30% in Liverpool in the early 1990's. That's just ****ed up.
