Lina Gálvez – Spain: The rise of precarious labour

January 11, 2018 Mathew D. Rose 0

Philip Pettit – Living with a hard Brexit

January 11, 2018 Mathew D. Rose 0

Ireland has a problem – an enormous problem. No EU nation will be more affected by Brexit, due to its soft border with Northern Ireland. Negotiating are the United Kingdom and the EU.  Neither of […]

Austerity

Desmond Cohen – Not in it together: the distributional impact of austerity

January 10, 2018 Mathew D. Rose 0

arte: HSBC – Gangsters of Finance

January 9, 2018 Mathew D. Rose 0

Since the 2008 crisis, HSBC has been involved in countless scandals: Money laundering for drug cartels, corruption, tax fraud… And yet the international bank escapes justice with insignificant fines. Why are they “too big to […]

Will Hutton: We can undo privatisation. And it won’t cost us a penny

January 9, 2018 Mathew D. Rose 0

Malta Today: Serbian magnate Dragan Solak outed by MaltaFiles over tax avoidance, is Malta’s newest citizen

January 9, 2018 Mathew D. Rose 0

Austerity

Larry Elliot: Brexit: why the UK economy hasn’t led to buyer’s remorse
