| Description | This cartoon shows Margaret Thatcher in a carriage being pulled by a thin horse representing the 'British Economy', and [U.S. President Ronald Reagan] on a horse representing the 'US Economy' rides up trying to help. Thatcher says 'Oh no I'm fine thanks'.
This likely represents the crumbling British economy and Thatcher pressing that it was completely fine and did not need the US to help. There is a sign pointing in Thatcher's direction that says 'Eldorado via Friedman's Shortcut.' In the trees it says 'Economics Jungle'. |
