Thatcher adviser suggests that mass unemployment is deliberate government policy.
Sir Alan Budd, in 1992, told Pandora's Box, hosted by Adam Curtis, of his "nightmare" that those implementing his economic advice were only interested in creating unemployment in order to tame the labour force and gain more profits. Margaret Thatcher ran the UK from 1979 to 1990 and policies similar to hers were implemented in Canada, New Zealand, the United States, and elsewhere and with the same permanent increase in unemployment. Sir Alan Budd now advises the new Conservative-Liberal government under David Cameron that is committed to austerity and unemployment and deflation.
