“Economics are the method, the object is to change the soul” - Margaret Thatcher (1981)What were the various tensions and contradictions between free markets and social conservatism in the 1980s? How did these manifest in the culture, music, and media of the time?   In this episode, I’m joined by author and historian Alwyn Turner to ponder these questions amongst many others. In this wide-ranging discussion, we run the gamut from monetarism and Milton Friedman to Band Aid, Only Fools and Horses and much more.   We hope you enjoy the podcast!  * You can also find out more about Alwyn and his work on his website here: http://www.alwynwturner.com/ <a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2010121/support">Support the show</a>

3. Economics and Culture in the 80s - with Alwyn Turner

This podcast is for anyone interested in modern British political history from 1945 to 2010. The focus is generally going to be more on domestic policy and I plan to either interview someone knowledgeable each episode, or use a book, documentary etc as some fodder for discussion.&nbsp; My personal interest in this comes from being a longstanding modern British history enthusiast, with an interest in UK domestic affairs over the recent past.&nbsp; My rough aim is to put out a podcast every two months, but this is solely a DIY passion project, rather than something I get paid for or do professionally - so that goal's very much life and day-job permitting. Hope you enjoy the podcast!&nbsp; You can email the podcast with any comments and feedback at harry.awhite@outlook.com and you can also find me on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/harry-w-1b045386 &nbsp;
