From Poll Tax riots to strikes over the closure of mines, 1980’s Britain was a time of political unrest and social anxiety. Believing in the responsibility of the individual, many of the policies introduced under Margaret Thatcher stretched the gap between the upper and lower classes and resulted in divided communities. \u003cem\u003eThe Cost of Living\u003c\/em\u003e is a satirical series which presents another view of Britain in the 1980’s, away from the tensions of riots, strikes and unemployment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"is-last\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Parr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57145848856958,"sku":null,"price":480.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/2593\/1985\/files\/Martin_ParrThe_cost_of_living_2.heic?v=1774008294","url":"https:\/\/www.setantabooks.com\/en-us\/products\/the-cost-of-living","provider":"Setanta Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
