In the U.K. it felt to me like an Overton Window shift, bolstered by the myths that grew up around Thatcher after the Falklands war and ringfenced by the rabid Tory press that still worships her. If General Galtieri hadn't rescued her from a likely one-term premiership, who knows.
I say there was an underlying cause for Thatcher, same as Reagan, and even that joker Friedman who furnished the academic fig leaves for the neo-feudal agenda of neoliberalism - just look for the fattest parasites exerting the most influence: those Mont Pelerin fucks and their ilk (if they actually have any company behind that number of layers of insulation from the rest of us).
If Thatcher hadn't happened along, some other soulless bozo would've passed the audition.
