"Lejeune (1990) spends a large amount of his article explaining the role that Mrs. Thatcher has played in shaping and changing the economic and social structure of the country. There is considerable disagreement, with some claiming that meritocrat has perpetuated an outdated class system that does not serve the country either politically or economically, while others hold that she has influenced both politics and the class system for the better. The author's conclusion is that most of her influences have been of an economic nature. Top tax rates have for example been reduced, while her influence on elementary education has been negligible. In general, economic change brings about changes in class structure. A more equitable class structure has been the result in the UK."Sample of Sources Used:
