From the abstract:
This article considers, contrasts and compares the images of three of Ireland’s Taoisigh – Brian Cowen, Enda Kenny, and Leo Varadkar – by situating each Taoiseach along an axis of consumption, stretching from austerity on one hand, to overconsumption on the other.
I’m very happy to have the piece featured alongside Annie West’s riff on Enda Kenny!
