Nationalization is the result of The Consensus Politics. After the Second World War, Keynesian Management Theory is sprung up instead of Sectional Balance Theory in UK's society. Therefore, The Consensus Politics is formed on the basis of the twowaves-Keynesian Management Theory and Democratic Socialism. State enterprises havebeen playing a very important role in its national economics from 1945 to 1979. The government tries its best to make these enterprises run well and formed a serial of measures. But the disadvantages of State Enterprises, such as, low efficacy, high cost, bad operation still existed. And maybe just because of this, the Privatization comes into being. In 1970s, all sorts of tidal waves came out with the exacerbated trade relationship. The New Right which suppose the principle of " Strong State and Free Market". And it provides the possibility for the implement of privatization policy. In the process of Thatcher's privatization policy, it goes through transition from monetarism to privatization. Privatization policy has many close affiliations with Thatcher's reform in economical, political and social fields, such as privatization and the reform of British government regulation system, privatization and the reform of Welfare State, privatization and the reform of Union Trade.Thatcher's Privatization Policy makes a rapid progress on economical, political and social fields since 1980s. And it improves the development of the global economics. And It has been proved that it has not only a deep academic evaluation, but also has a great influence on our Opening Policy.In this dissertation, through the historical review on the Thatcher's privatization policy from extensive conception of Privatization, I try to discuss truly the course of British Privatization in 1980s, reflect perfectly the great changes in UK's society, farther understand deeply the new development in the present capitalism and provide profitable reference to ourstate enterprises reform. There are two emphases in this dissertation: (1) I stress the peculiarity of Thatcher's Privatization Policy and argue that its final object is reshaping the British by which three means are used: neo-liberalism economics instead of Keynesian economics, popular capitalism instead of Democratic socialism, individualism instead of collectivism. (2) I give new orientations and evaluations to nationalization and privatization policy from the view of the relationship of state and market and technological revolution.
