DAVID HARVEY ON THE ROOTS OF THE PRESENT FINANCIAL CRISIS
Jan 20th, 2011 by Conor McCabe
Excellent interview with David Harvey, via Wisconsin Public Radio.
It deals with the dynamics of finance capital since the 1970s.
Have a listen and keep in mind Ireland’s pit-stop in the international financial capital route - i.e. the IFSC.
The skim off the top which Irish financial service providers got for washing this money - therein lies one crucial aspect of Ireland’s economic miracle, the Celtic Tiger, and subsequent destruction of same.
Keeping this finance scam going via Corporation Tax is the official economic policy of all the major parties, Labour and Sinn Féin included.
Just madness.
Anyways. Enjoy.
