I think you’re thinking of the gold standard abandonment which was in 1976, way before Reagan or thatcher. They did liberalize a lot of markets but attributing the way banking works specifically to them is a bit of a stretch. Also during war times a lot of governments printed money. Before the 20th century too. So again, your anger towards Reagan and thatcher, while partly probably justified, is a bit excessive.
