New book on Sweden's welfare state and what we can learn from it's systematic destruction

  • Summary

  • In this episode, author and People Before Profit County Councillor Madeleine Johansson joins Barbara to talk about her new book which details, in every day language, the history and origins of the welfare state in Sweden and its demise. The book is a great reference for any worker who wants to understand how the welfare state is destroyed by neoliberals and the destructive nature of capitalism. It serves as a warning to every Irish worker when it comes to the idea of left government and the very real challenges of reform or rupture concepts under a system that's beyond repair!

    The book is available to purchase at Red Network's online store, or from the Rebel Telly crew by DMing them.

    There is also a book launch on Friday 2nd December at 6pm in The Teachers Club on Parnell Square in Dublin city. A later date for launches in Waterford and Cork are also planned and details will be published on all Rebel Telly social media platforms once confirmed.
