Forty years on, Margaret Thatcher's election as Great Britain's first female prime minister still looks miraculous.
Thatcher recognized the economic crisis as a failure of politics.
Before Thatcher took office, "Privatization" was a word out of science fiction; ten years after she left office, it was a global norm.
Thatcher was guided by ideology without being an ideologue, as the third and final volume of Charles Moore's biography demonstrates.
Thatcher aimed to stimulate self-reliance and independence, and she saw these virtues threatened by the culture of passivity that statism engenders.
Alfred Sherman-indispensable as an early advisor and speechwriter but eventually excluded from her inner circle-once told me that Thatcher never read Friedrich Hayek or Milton Friedman, as she had claimed, but only Frederic Bastiat.
Thatcher embodied the highest qualities of leadership.
