Andr Hakizimana, a resident of Ireland who holds a masters degree in economics, examines the countrys 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 Irelands 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 countrys 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 blameand they could continue to hurt the country unless action is taken. Discover a blueprint to grow the economy in Ireland, and learn why past efforts have failed by exploring The Irish EconomyPast, Present, and Future.
