Sure. Or better yet, why don't you ask him onto Marxmail? I'll read his whole
book before I comment further.  He mentions in the intro that his book may
concede a little to neo-liberalism vis a vis  the Irish economic performance. He
doesn't seem to link his analysis to imperialism or "globalization" very well
but maybe that is expecting a bit much. Again, I'll have to read the whole
thing.

The reason I brought him up is that he publishes for Verso which has a left wing
reputation. Publishing him says more about Verso than it does O'Toole.
