About this Episode

Margaret Thatcher said socialists don't like ordinary people choosing, because they might not choose socialism. Today I'm going through some of the Iron Lady's best moments and why they land harder now than when she said them. Taxes and private industry. Politicians who think they can run everything. Budgeting a country the way you budget a household. Illegal immigration and what she called international chaos. And the U-turn speech that made her the Iron Lady. Underneath all of it she was making one argument, and it's the one we need most in our 250th year: liberty and economic freedom are the same fight, and a state you depend on ends up owning you.
