First edition, first impression. [ii] 130pp. Cream cloth-covered boards, gilt titles on spine. 8vo. Very slightly rounded at spine ends, hint of dustiness along upper text block edge, else neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. In its original dust jacket, lightly bumped along upper edge. Keith Joseph, a minister in Margaret Thatcher's cabinet and widely regarded as an architect of Thatcherism, and Sumption - an eminent Oxford historian and later Supreme Court judge, argue that equality in society is not only practical impossible but conceptuality flawed, providing the intellectual basis for Thatcher's later position that there is no such thing as society. An important contribution to the unique conservatism of Thatcherite Britain and public policy.
