Ireland's Economic Success by Paul Sweeney
Why did "a basket case economy" like Ireland suddenly take off? And what next? These are questions not just the Irish but people in the emerging new EU states and further afield ask themselves.Sweeney's book offers a wide-ranging analysis of the issue based on interviews with: Taoiseach Bertie Ahern; Peter Sutherland, BP Chairman of BP and Goldman SachsInternational, and former EU Commissioner; David Begg, Gen. Sec. of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions; Frances Ruane, Director of ESRI and Trinity Professor of Economics; Olivia O'Leary, Broadcaster and political analyst; Garry McGann. CEO Smurfit Kappa; and Joe Macri, CEO Microsoft Ireland. Part Two of the book provides the reader with the most up-to-date hard facts and previously unpublished statistics on the scale of Ireland's economic achievement, together with an overview of the contributors' point within the context of current economists' debate. A must read for anybody trying to emulate this stunning success, or wanting to find out about the chance of a hard or a soft landing of the Republic's economy.| SKU | Unavailable |
