The next Leviathan is going to go on tour out of Dublin… The subject is just the next but one nightmare on Fianna Fail’s growing nightmare list… NAMA… A scheme which Joseph Stiglitz accused the bankers of robbing the taxpayer. His recommendation: ‘re-privatisation’ (in other words, what the Swedes did: nationalisation). Here’s the blurb:
The Government has proposed a National Assets Management Agency as a solution to the banking crisis. Its supporters describe is as “the only show in town” but increasing numbers of critics are calling it the biggest theft ever perpetrated on the Irish taxpayer. David McWilliams hosts a panel including international experts and Government representatives to explain the plan and separate the fact from the fiction.
Also featuring satire from Paddy Cullivan, The Emergency: Live and a new film from Doris/Magee.
