Seán Ó Riain on Economic Foundations of Social Progress

Wednesday, November 27, 2013 - 00:00

Prof. Seán Ó Riain made an appearance on Newstalk's The Right Hook this week to discuss his paper 'Economic Foundations of Social Progress: Ireland through a Nordic Lens". You can listen back to the conversation online [about 6 minutes in].

Seán's paper was delivered earlier in the day at a Social Justice Ireland conference held in Croke Park on 'A Future Worth Living For'. At the conference a range of speakers from Ireland and abroad addressed the question of whether it is possible to build an alternative future that would be both desirable and sustainable and how such a future might be developed.  You can visit the conference programme at the conference website.

Prof O'Riain is the principal investigator on the European Research Council funded project 'New Deals in the New Economy'.
