An optimistic, and perhaps in the wake of Ireland's economic collapse of 2009, a rather naive canter through Ireland social and economic potential.

Product Description

Forget the Celtic Tiger. Ireland is undergoing something far more significant, the most powerful transformation in two hundred years. In The Best is Yet to Come Marc Coleman, one of Ireland's leading economic and political commentators, argues that only the government stands between Ireland and a future in which its population could grow to 8 million by 2050.

As migrants from Eastern Europe and the returning Irish diaspora build a new Ireland, The Best is Yet to Come asks whether the government is doing its part to build the future. Are we headed for a brave new world or a nightmare? Will Ireland lose its unique cultural identity as the number of migrant citizens rises to one-fifth of the population, and will the prospect of a united Ireland energise or destabilise the nation?

Hang onto your hats while Marc Coleman brings you on a journey back to the future. Forget the Celtic Tiger; you ain't seen nothing yet.

Customer Reviews

Coleman must be having a laugh?
This book is destined to become the Irish version of Glassman & Hasslett and will be found, not in bookshops, but in the bibliography of many a budding MBA student's case study report on "The Rise and Fall of Celtic Tiger Ireland".
