Covers featuring Margaret Thatcher 1975-1990

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

1975 - “She has courage, a quality in short supply in politics everywhere and which she thoroughly deserves to be rewarded for”.

See The Economist covers here: http://econ.st/14Uv08K — Following the Iron Lady, 1975-90 (9 photos)

1980 - “Mrs Thatcher’s experiment is in trouble… with Britain’s gross national product lower than when she took office and with unemployment having doubled.”

1982 - “Argentina’s continuing lack of concession will, if it continues, make the choice for her: Mrs Thatcher must let troops go in.”
