About this book

Since the first edition there have been fundamental changes in the Irish growth model. The sudden collapse of the Irish economy in 2008 raises questions such as: why the sudden and deep decline in economic growth? What are the prospects for a return to growth? Answering these questions and more, this book is the definitive work on the Celtic Tiger.

Reviews

'Celtic Tiger in Collapse may well be a first step in learning the lessons of the past and coming to grips with what is needed in the changed circumstances in which we now find ourselves.' - Eamonn Maher, The Irish Catholic
