About this product

Product Information

Ireland's economic collapse hit with bewildering speed and cut deep into many lives. Then, at a time when we most needed leadership, our politicians let us down, telling us we were all to blame for the recession, we were all in it together, and that we just needed to suffer a little pain to make everything right again. It was a Big Lie. This book tries to figure out what's going on behind the official cover story of austerity. It's about us, the great majority of us who weren't playing gambling games that created the mess. It's about what's being done to us, who is doing it and why. It offers an alternative view of the crisis. It's also about who benefits from this and who gets it in the neck. And what we might do about that. Gene Kerrigan delves deep into the muddy waters of the property boom and crash, the chaos in the banks, the euro crisis and the intervention by the troika. He looks at how the Dail and the media became full of mindless free market cheerleaders, and how the country became laden down with unregulated bankers, and how, after the crash, the government acquiesced in imposing a destructive programme of austerity on the Irish people. Meanwhile, the elites in our society wrap the green flag around themselves, calling for sacrifice and patriotism, while they hold on fiercely to every perk and privilege. It's time to tell the truth.
