RFK, Politicians on the Move and What Tax Does to Society

Last week, a political bombshell dropped Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his independent run for the US Presidency in 2024 and this week on Taking Stock Mandy Johnston talks to Michael Wendling of the BBC about what it means for the race. With businesses all around the world facing many difficult global tensions companies are turning more and more to former diplomats, politicians, and civil servants for advice at the board level. Could this trend be linked to the growing number of politicians choosing to exit the political stage here in Ireland? Mandy talks to Michael Dwyer from the Financial Times. And finally Mandy is joined by Dr Karina Doorley of Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) to shed light on Ireland's ever-evolving discussion on our tax system and what kind of society its creating.
