For more than forty years, Britain's economic settlement has been treated as inevitable. In Thatcherism is NOT Conservatism, L. J. Morten challenges that assumption. He argues that Thatcherism was not the natural continuation of British conservatism, but a rupture: a philosophy that replaced restraint with exposure, stability with volatility, and stewardship with moralised market discipline. What is often defended as realism, he contends, was a political choice.

Moving through housing, law, generational change and the moral language of responsibility, this book examines how insecurity became normalised and protection reframed as weakness. It does not offer nostalgia or easy answers. Instead, it reopens a question that has been closed for too long: if the present settlement was constructed, might it also be reconsidered?
