The neo-liberalism did create a lot more wealth but it also led to globalism and now look at the situation we are in. We made authoritarian China a superpower, immigration has become a crisis and we've lost our manufacturing jobs while working standards are worse than they were 30 years ago as young people are forced to wait tables on zero hour contracts and what little crumbs they earn go mostly to their rich landlords they rent from. Unless they opt to live at their parents at the cost of their dignity. While for boomers, moving out and being independent was easy as long as you were a diligent worker. Even buying your own home was within reach for a semi-skilled worker with poor to average school grades, good luck with that now. Moreover, we are on the verge of a new dark age if the global warming problem is as serious as scientists say it is going to be within the next 50 years. Is Thatcher directly to blame for the situation we are in now? No, if anything it was more down to Tony Blair, Bush senior and Bill Clinton. But she and Reagan did help set the ball rolling in that general direction.
