IT WASN’T meant to be this way. The promise of monetarism was always the creation of wealth. It stood for an end to inflation; and the fashioning of a truly free market, without any recourse to government, acting as the generator of exponential surpluses and the guarantor of rising living standards.
The privatisation of state assets — literally, the former commonly held wealth of the nation — was championed as removing class barriers and breathing life into a new share-owning democracy, whereby individual citizens could benefit from, and participate in, the acquisition and growth of capital.
