Abstract
In light of the account of Baldwin’s tenure presented in the previous chapter, this chapter looks at how well Stanley Baldwin performed the core tasks of leadership and how closely his choices reflect the terms of the null hypothesis presented in Chapter 2. Baldwin’s performance in diagnosis, prescription, and mobilization will be evaluated, and some conclusions about both Baldwin’s role in history as well as what his tenure teaches us about how effective balances of power form will be drawn.
