Thatcherism

A Margaret Thatcher quote referenced in Claire Berlinksi's new book, There Is No Alternative: Why Margaret Thatcher Matters.

We must not focus our attention exclusively on the material, because though important, it is not the main issue. The economic success of the Western World is a product of its moral philosophy and practice. Economic results are better because the moral philosophy is superior. It is superior, because it starts with the individual, with his uniqueness, his responsibility, and his capacity to choose.... Choice is the essence of ethics.... Good and evil have meaning only insofar as man is free to choose."
