Joseph was the son of Sir Samuel Joseph, who had founded the construction company Bovis and served as Lord Mayor of London in 1942-1943.
Joseph, after losing the marginal seat of Baron's Court in West London by 125 votes in the 1955 election, was elected to parliament in a by-election for Leeds North East in February 1956.
Joseph's political achievement was in pioneering the application of monetarist economics to British political economics, and in developing what would later become known as 'Thatcherism'.
In the run-up to the 1970 election Joseph made a series of speeches under the title "civilised capitalism" in which he outlined his political philosophy and hinted of cuts in public spending.
Joseph became interested in the economic theory of monetarism as formulated by Milton Friedman and persuaded Mrs Thatcher to support it.
All of this was contrary to the "Conservative" ideals, not to be confused with a "political moderation" in Joseph.
