The main part is devoted to years 1979-1983 and focuses primarily on methods of reviving state finances, implementation of new economic politics and transformation of the Conservative Party. The conclusion includes an assessment of the success rate of this term by comparing statistical data. The work proves that despite questionable achievements of her first term Margaret Thatcher stopped the upswing of socialism while evoking individualism and capitalism.
