Thatcherite, a term derived from the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, refers to a political ideology that promotes free market capitalism, individualism, and a limited role of the government in economic and social affairs. Some possible synonyms for Thatcherite include neo-liberal, conservative, libertarian, market fundamentalist, and laissez-faire advocate. Each of these terms highlights different aspects of the Thatcherite philosophy and may have slightly varying connotations in different contexts. Some critics may use these labels in a negative sense, implying that Thatcherism is overly dogmatic, uncaring, or harmful to vulnerable groups. Others, however, may embrace these terms as a badge of honor, celebrating the virtues of entrepreneurship, self-reliance, and personal responsibility.
