Could Ireland Have Been Different? (w/ Conor McCabe)
Manage episode 379540101 series 2619686
On a critique of political economy for Ireland
We were delighted to welcome researcher & author Conor McCabe on to the podcast to discuss the political economy of Ireland and its importance for the Irish left. This is a long but incredibly insightful discussion, as Conor refocuses our attention to the things that matter: who has power in Ireland? What is the real class makeup of the country? And why is everything about cows?
Conor is a fantastic writer, educator and researcher who guides us through the works of great thinkers like James Connolly and Peadar O Donnell before offering a brilliant analysis of the economic and political situation of Ireland today. How can we reconcile Ireland's dual role as both victim and beneficiary of imperialism? Why have the Irish left abandoned consciousness-raising in favour of moral points scoring? And why should all good Marxist analysis follow the example of The Wire?
Conor's excellent book Sins of the Father

Outro Music: Christy Moore - James Connolly
