The Economy of Ireland
Policy-Making in a Global Context
Synopsis
The 13th edition of the successful textbook The Economy of Ireland should be of interest to not just third-level students but a wide lay audience. The story of the Irish economy, at the heart of the euro zone has been one of the most remarkable in the developed world in the last 20 years. There are four major parts to the book: (i) historical, international and political contexts; (ii) state expenditure, taxation and regulation; (iii) performance in terms of employment, living standards and income distribution; and (iv) analysis of six key sectors, agri-food, trades goods and services, energy, housing, education and health.

What Reviewers Are Saying
The Economy of Ireland has been the core text for students of the Irish economy for over forty years and the latest edition will ensure that this continues. More generally, the approach and the issues considered are relevant across many of the EU's smaller countries so the audience will extend beyond Ireland. The integration of macroeconomics, microeconomics, policy and theory in a single volume make this an uniquely enlightening volume. * Professor Alan Barrett, Director of the Economic and Social Research Institute, Dublin * The Economy of Ireland is the recognised text for students and for anybody who is looking for one authoritative and accessible book on the Irish economy - an invaluable resource and a guide for further reading. * Professor Mary E. Daly, President of the Royal Irish Academy * The Economy of Ireland has been the standard undergraduate reference on the Irish economy for decades now, and this latest edition is a worthy addition to the series. * Professor Kevin O'Rourke, University of Oxford, UK *
