By the mid-1970s, the U.K. had reached its lowest point. These were the
years of double-digit inflation, of power cuts, of shortages. There were

names than elected ministers. A Conservative government—a government
of
which Thatcher was the despairing education minister—was reduced to
passing laws regulating prices and incomes.

Origin:
late Middle English: from Latin
reducere, from
re- 'back, again' +
ducere 'bring, lead'. The original sense was 'bring back' (hence 'restore', now surviving
in reduce (sense 5)); this led to 'bring to a different state', then 'bring to a simpler or lower state'
(hence reduce (sense 3)); and finally 'diminish in size or amount'
(reduce (sense 1), dating from the late 18th century)
