Margaret Thatcher died

As Prime Minister, she did a lot for the economy

Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher died Monday morning at the age of 87 from complications of a previous stroke.

Thatcher spent 11 years as prime minister and became famous, among other things, for her economic reforms. For her inflexibility in carrying out reforms, she received the nickname The Iron Lady. In particular, it privatized most of the state-owned companies. In total, England sold more than £29 billion worth of state assets to entrepreneurs.
