The Irish Economy-Past, Present, and Future: Causes of Irish Economic Recessions and Solutions for Growth - 9781475991741

Ireland's economic policies have not served it well in recent years, but not many people understand why the country's people continue to suffer. Andr? Hakizimana, a resident of Ireland who holds a master's degree in economics, examines the country's economic policies and provides solutions for growth.

This study does not intend to criticize Irish policy makers, but instead seeks to address the origins of Irish economic growth, financial crises and Irish recessions. It considers the following questions:

- What caused economic turmoil in Ireland's financial markets in recent years?

- How have some begun working together to create healthy growth?

- Why did the country slip into recessions before and after independence?

Neither the 2008 recession in Ireland nor the country's current financial crisis were caused by an international crisis or the crash of the Anglo-Irish bank. Instead, there are fundamental problems in the Irish economic strategy that are to blame-and they could continue to hurt the country unless action is taken.
