The Amazing Margaret Thatcher : We Desperately Need More Leaders Like Her


Along with Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II, Margaret Thatcher was a giant of our era and, indeed, of history. These three leaders brought about the fall of Soviet communism and the resurgence of political and economic liberty around the world.  Like Reagan, Thatcher was one of those rare individuals who was both a movement leader and an effective political leader.  It is one thing to have firm ideas, quite another to have the skills to bring them into being and for them to endure after you leave office.  The current economic crisis has put Margaret Thatcher’s ideas and ideals under siege even though this disaster resulted from ignoring her and Reagan’sfundamental free market principles.
Thatcher’s rise was astonishing.  The notion that a grocer’s daughter could become leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister in class-ridden Britain would have been preposterous.  In business it’s usually outsiders who fundamentally shakeup an existing industry or creates an entirely new ones.  In politics it takes a severe crisis for an outlier to emerge.  Though he had a pedigreed background, Winston Churchill was very much the outsider, intensely distrusted and disliked by his own party and much of the public. Only when Britain’s very existence was at stake could he reach the summit.  In Thatcher’s case it was an acute economic and social crisis that enabled her to emerge.
