Etymology
The word Thatcherism comes from the name of British leader Thatcher and the ending -ism, which means 'belief' or 'system', the same ending you see in capitalism. So Thatcherism means the set of political ideas linked to Margaret Thatcher, such as free markets, selling government-owned companies, and less government control.
