More about the book

The book explores the erosion of democratic ideals in Ireland as corporate influence grows. It highlights how large corporations undermine public interests, such as blocking advertising bans aimed at protecting children and restricting alcohol promotion. Additionally, it critiques the transformation of Irish universities into corporate entities, where academic research increasingly serves the agendas of major pharmaceutical companies. This examination reveals the troubling intersection of corporate power and democratic processes in contemporary Irish life.
