About

NOTE – AUGUST 2021 UPDATE: I have relocated back to Australia, and launched a new blog, Offshore, in August 2021. Offshore focuses on finance, tech and power from a left perspective. I’ll keep this site (my personal blog) online for the time being but will be mainly publishing at Offshore from now on.

Visit Offshore here.

This site was launched in January 2015 and will focus on Irish, European and international economics and politics. All articles and interviews are written by myself, Emma Clancy, unless stated otherwise.

I am an economist specialising in tax justice and illicit financial flows; Eurozone economic policy; and feminist economics.

I created and edited the Irish Broad Left website, launched in 2019. Irish Broad Left has since become part of Left Bloc Ireland.

I work as a policy advisor for the European United Left (GUE/NGL) in the European Parliament on the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee and the TAX3 special committee on tax evasion, tax avoidance and money-laundering (and previously for the Panama Papers Committee of Inquiry for the duration of its mandate).

Previously I was a Sydney-based industrial officer and organiser for the National Tertiary Education Union.

All views are expressed here in a personal capacity.

  1. Just read your article on the stability and growth pact, completely agree, and would like to contribute additional support for your arguments on the ‘monetary’ side.

  2. Your ‘Behind the spin…’ analysis is excellent and concurs with my own take on the EU shenanigans. Keep up the good work!
