Great documentary by Adam Curtis originally aired on BBC. Curtis investigates the origins of the Thatcher revolution and its subsequent influence on the Blair government. He takes the unexpected path of exploring John Nash, game theory, Friedrich Hayek and libertarian/free market philosophies entering politics, and R. D. Laing (among others) to explain the politics of the 80s and 90s. Much of what Curtis explores overlaps with changes in US governing during the same time. Highly recommended.
