Thatcher and Thatcherism
Drawing extensively on political memoirs, Thatcher and Thatcherism surveys the origins and impact of 'Thatcherism' as a cultural construct and an economic creed.

The Idea of Poverty: England in the Early Industrial Age
The Forging of the Modern State: Early Industrial Britain, 1783-1870
