I think it's really hard to judge old leaders legacies with the lenses of today. Right now we're probably on the other side of the economic pendulum where maybe things got too unregulated and taxes got too low for a period of time. So when Thatcher's terms in office are viewed from today, some might be tempted to make the leap towards suggesting that the changes she initiated are what started today's ills as opposed to what ailed yesterday's ills.
For example, I believe that Ronald Reagan gave the US the economic kick in the a$$ it needed, and also made many necessary regulatory and tax changes. Where the US lost their way was in the late 90s and early 2000s where deregulation and lower taxes were treated as the defacto public policy gospel for growing the economy responsibly. I think both the repealing of the 'Glass-Stegal' act in the US under the Clinton administration, and the Bush Jr. tax cuts in the middle of fighting two wars are actually the points where things went too far.
If Thatcher's time get's viewed from that perspective than maybe history will recall her more fondly than the sentiment reflected here by some of the posters.
