Ireland Under Austerity

Discover the cautionary tale of Ireland's journey from a poster child for capitalist globalisation to a society deeply affected by the crash of the world economy. A collection of essays by academics, economists, and political commentators, this book offers a critical view on the effects of neoliberalism and the series of austerity measures that have fundamentally restructured Irish society. Explore the forces that pushed Ireland towards a regressive path and learn about the pernicious cycle of boom and bust that is still very present in today's capitalism.
