Neoliberalism and the Accord: 3CR podcast

March 17, 2015

The 14th Biennial National Labour History Conference, ‘Fighting Against War: Peace Activism in the Twentieth Century’ was held at Queen’s College, University of Melbourne, 11-13 February 2015. My paper on ‘The Accord after Thirty Years: Corporatism in the Neoliberal Era‘ was recorded by the Solidarity Breakfast program on 3CR, who featured excerpts from it as a part of a discussion of the issues I raised. You can listen to parts of the talk, and the interesting discussion by the hosts through the podcast or at the embedded link just below. The section discussing my paper is the first item. Thanks to the hosts of Solidarity Breakfast: Annie McLoughlin, Lalitha Chelliah and Lynne Beaton.
