It's a pretty daft headline in what is an otherwise quite interesting (if long!) article on her thinking during her (short!) premiership.
There is of course no Left-Wing financial establishment, but there is an othadox, liberal establishment that is fairly risk-averse and difficult to navigate. It's the same 'forces' that would have made Corbyns life hell and made Greece's life very difficult under Syriza.
We don't know what would have happened had things settled down. I do think it probably would have delivered better growth long term and the impacts were probably short term, but who knows, and market movements like we saw always breed panic. Worth noting for example that despite the immediate rise, our bond prices have now risen significantly less than many others. We just don't know if that would have happened in time anyway
