But beyond this very legitimate exercise, there are deeper questions that need to be answered. These questions relate to why we made the decisions we did, not just in the last 10 years, but over the last 80. How did certain industries become prominent at the expense of others, banking as opposed to fisheries, international markets as opposed to indigenous industry and job creation? Are our problems structural in nature, and most importantly, what do we need to know to make sure that this crisis does not happen again? This book looks at the development of the Irish economy over the past eight decades, and argues that the 2008 financial crisis, up to and including the IMF bailout of 2010 and the subsequent change of government, cannot be explained simply by the moral failings of those in banking or property development alone. The problems are deeper, more intricate, and more dangerous if we remain unaware of them, but also potentially avoidable in the future if we break the cycle. 538 System requirements: Adobe Digital editions. 588 0 Print version record. 650 7 BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / General.|2bisacsh 651 0 Ireland|xEconomic conditions|y20th century. 651 0 Ireland|xEconomic policy|y21st century. 651 0 Ireland|xEconomic conditions|y21st century. 651 0 Ireland|xEconomic policy|y20th century. 655 0 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMcCabe, Conor.|tSins of the father. |dDublin, Ireland : The History Press Ireland, 2013. |z9781845888176|w(DLC)2013455435 914 frd00011124
