Ireland has been marketed as the poster boy of EU austerity. EU
elites and neoliberal commentators claim that the country's ability
to suffer economic pain will attract investors and generate a
recovery. In Austerity Ireland, Kieran Allen challenges this
official image and argues that the Irish state's response to the
crash is typical of the Eurozone countries, serving to protect the
economic privilege of the powerful, to the detriment of the middle
and working classes. Looking at the various ways we could consider
this austerity period a failure, including transforming Ireland
into a tax haven and contributing to serious levels of
unemployment, Allen reveals the extent of Ireland's current
socio-economic and political malaise, suggesting that it may have
created furtile ground for a leftist resurgence.
