Roger Casement is best known as a revolutionary figure in Irish history, but his legacy also extends into economics. This session will explore Casement’s role in exposing the atrocities of the rubber trade in the Congo and how his activism had far-reaching economic implications. We’ll also look at Casement’s influence on the Irish independence movement and how his economic ideas intertwined with his political ideals. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on how economics played a key role in the life and legacy of one of Ireland’s most fascinating historical figures.
