1.) Gript Interview: Economics of the Irish Revolution One of the key debates during the early decades of the Irish state after the 1921 Treaty was how to establish the foundations of an independent economic and financial system. Gript’s Matt Treacy invited me to chat about the debates in the revolutionary leadership, how the first Cumann na nGaedhael government more or less jettisoned any ambition to break away from the British imperial economic system as it pertained to Ireland, and how subsequent efforts by Fianna Fáil after 1932 were frustrated by the banking and commercial elite until they turned to overseas investment rather than Irish led industrial development. I center all these points around the economic ideas of Arthur Griffith and the school of nationalist economics.
