The European economic crisis has been ongoing since 2008 and while
austerity has spread over the continent, it has failed to revive
economies. The media have played an important ideological role in
presenting the policies of economic and political elites in a
favourable light, even if the latter's aim has been to shift the
burden of adjustment onto citizens. This book explains how and why,
using a critical political economic perspective and focusing on the
case of Ireland. Throughout, Ireland is compared with contemporary
and historical examples to contextualise the arguments made. The
book covers the housing bubble that led to the crash, the rescue of
financial institutions by the state, the role of the European
institutions and the International Monetary Fund, austerity, and
the possibility of leaving the eurozone for Europe's peripheral
countries. Through a systematic analysis of Ireland's main
newspapers, it is argued that the media reflect elite views and
interests and downplay alternative policies that could lead to more
progressive responses to the crisis.
