Abstract

100 years ago, Dublin was choked with the smoke of heavy artillery fire as the British army quelled the 1916 rising with chilling brutality. Landmark buildings had been eviscerated and key Irish political figures executed. A terrible beauty was born. Politically, Ireland was pursuing an isolationist path, trying in vain to become self sufficient and to be able to avoid the pitfalls of trading with other nations. The country was on a slow but inevitable path to international irrelevance. But today, Dublin is a vibrant, thriving, entrepreuenrial, highly connected society and economy. This paper examines how the Irish economy managed to overtake its European neighbours - again.
