Ireland and Libya: Two Sides of the Rentier State Paper presented at the 2nd James Connolly Day School, 12th November, 2011, Connolly Books, Dublin. Karl Marx first used the term “rentier state” to describe Britain as a state that lives off the rents on exported capital. Britain exported capital to its empire, and lived off the revenues or rents on this capital. Marx noted that the Working Class in England was very reluctant to seriously oppose the British state, as the rents on capital allowed the state to give the skilled Working Class just enough to make them feel they have something to lose if they rose up against the bourgeoisie. This could not have been the case, if the British state was dependent on revenues from domestic production only. read full story / add a comment

If I were to seek to intervene politically in what is a legal process I think that would be wholly inappropriate.” read full story / add a comment |
