Again, whether you think this is good or not depends on whether you think the UK should have a manufacturing economy or a service economy.
 
She was notorious for claiming she was a follower of [[Useful Notes/Political Ideologies|classically liberal]] economist Frederich von Hayek. However, unlike Hayek, she opposed the legalization of illicit drugs and denationalization of the money supply.
