Once held up as a 'poster child' for untrammeled capitalist
globalisation, the Irish Republic has more recently come to
represent a cautionary tale for those tempted to tread the same
neoliberal path. The crash in the world economy had especially
grave repercussions for Ireland, and a series of austerity measures
has seen the country endure what some consider the most substantial
'adjustment' ever experienced in a developed society during
peacetime. In this collection of essays, a range of academics,
economists and political commentators delineate the reactionary
course that Ireland has followed since the ignominious demise of
the Celtic Tiger. They argue that the forces of neoliberalism have
employed the economic crisis they caused to advance policies that
are in their own narrow interests, and that the host of regressive
measures imposed since the onset of global recession has
fundamentally restructured Irish society. The book provides a
critical account of a society that has more often than most mapped
out the pernicious cycle of boom and bust that remains an essential
hallmark of contemporary capitalism. -- .
