Margaret Thatcher -- a fellow Chartalist?

["Per Gunnar Berglund" <pgberglund@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

PKTers,

Today's New York Times reports that the debate on the euro is heating up in
Britain.
(http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/business/AP-Britain-Divisive-Euro.html)
The article features the following quotes from a recent speech by former
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher:

"To surrender the pound, to surrender our power of self-government, would
betray all that past generations down the ages lived and died to defend,"
she told Conservative activists in the southern city of Plymouth.
"A country which loses the power to issue its own currency is a country
which has given up the power to govern itself. Such a country is no longer
free."

It seems to me that we have a fellow Chartalist in Lady Thatcher?

Best,

Per
