1434. Trump, Tariffs and Tax Haven Ireland
Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack
"You don't have the cards" was a crude way for Donald Trump to say that he has the bully pulpit and that he's going to use it. Rejoining us on the tortoise shack is lecturer, author of Tax Haven Ireland and editor of the Irish Marxist Review, Dr Brian O'Boyle and he has as always some great insights to that is behind the rhetoric.
We talk about the neoliberal ouroboros, the dollar in decline and why Ireland needs to have a grownup conversation about our tax haven and whether it is working for the wider society.

1429. From Corporate Law to the Ukraine-Russia War
Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack
What would you do if your country was invaded? Well our guest today, Oleksandr Khomiak, out of a sense of duty to his people made the decision to leave his career as an international corporate lawyer and become a military drone manufacturer.
As you’ll hear from him, that decision wasn’t easy, but he felt he had a duty. He also talks about Trump’s abandonment of Ukraine and the wake up call for the EU.
