The domestic, moral and political economies of post-Celtic Tiger Ireland
Author: Kieran KeohanePublisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 152610220X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This book provides an analysis of neo-liberal political economics implemented in Ireland and the deleterious consequences of that model in terms of polarised social inequalities, impoverished public services and fiscal vulnerability as they appear in central social policy domains – health, housing and education in particular. Tracing the argument into the domains where the institutions are sustained and reproduced, this book examines the movement of modern economics away from its original concern with the household and anthropologically universal deep human needs to care for the vulnerable – the sick, children and the elderly – and to maintain inter-generational solidarity. The authors argue that the financialisation of social relations undermines the foundations of civilisation and opens up a marketised barbarism. Civic catastrophes of violent conflict and authoritarian liberalism are here illustrated as aspects of the 'rough beast' that slouches in when things are falling apart and people become prey to new forms of domination.

The Corporate Takeover of Ireland
Author: Kieran AllenPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
A government by the people and for the people is an ideal of Irish politics. But it is fast disappearing as corporations take more control. The Corporate Takeover of Ireland examines the effects corporations have on Irish life and shows how democratic decision making has been subverted by money. For example: --- Efforts to ban advertising to children and to restrict promotion of alcohol have been prevented by large global corporations. --- Irish universities are increasingly run on the model of a corporation and their research work is being put at the service of major pharmaceutical firms --- A new medical apartheid is being created in health as huge US health corporations stand ready to move into the private healthcare market. --- Waste collection is no longer organized as a public service but is being turned into big business. --- State enterprises such as Aer Lingus have been handed over to private investors. The Corporate Takeover of Ireland is based on interviews with key participants and is supplemented with documentary information. New material challenges arguments for privatization/de-regulation in Ireland, suggests that public resources are being squandered on 'corporate welfare, ' and questions the notion that the consumer has gained from the changes. The book, written in a highly accessible style, calls for a new movement of resistance that will put people before profit and bring about more genuine democracy
