Conclusion
People Before Profit rejects the Tax Haven model. The results for ordinary people have been abysmal, with insecurity, inequality and deprivation all too common. Brexit is just around the corner so now is the time to act. People Before Profit have a vision for a socialist and environmentally friendly economy. Our economic policy document is designed to move in this direction using resources that are created by working people but currently siphoned off by the Irish rich. Alongside a state led investment economy we would end the injustices that have been perpetuated on people during the crisis and put public services of a much firmer footing.
All of this is possible but it will not happen without a major increase in the confidence and combativity of working people. If we want a more equal so society we will have to build it. This means counterposing people power and working class solidarity to the elitist logic of the establishment.
