Works good on paper. Not so good when humanness and human greed come into play.
In case you are wondering, all the economic bullcrap the tea party is spouting is classic Friedmanism.

She doesn't intrigue me, she repulses me; much like Ann Coulter repulses me.
I can't watch all the "tributes" to her life today.
The fact that she was the first (and only) woman to rise to the post of PM doesn't impress me, not after having lived with/amidst the consequences of her "reign".
She was not a good leader and not a good person.
She was especially classist and homophobic.
But she was a mother and a grandmother and I am sorry for their loss, I hope she was kind and loving to them.
