Located in the heart of London, halfway between the City’s banks and the Westminster Parliament, the London School of Economics is a place with a dual history and almost a dual identity. Founded at the end of the 19th century, it was the melting pot of the English Labour Party and the birthplace of the welfare state, which became the model for all Western social democracy. But since Margaret Thatcher’s conservative revolution, it has become one of the most prestigious international schools for training the world’s economic and financial elites. The story of a paradox.
