As a young man he became intimately familiar with books like The Road to Serfdom, Conscience of a Conservative, The Constitution of Liberty , and Law, Legislation and Liberty . After working through Eton and Oxford his becoming an academic early in the Thatcher years was of no surprise to any of his family and friends. He continued his work as a Academic in Conservative party. He would have probably never crossed over from Academic to Politician if it was not for the John Major years.
