Abstract:
In just over a generation, Ireland has evolved from one of the poorest countries in Western Europe to one of the most successful, reversing the persistent emigration of its best and brightest and achieving an enviable reputation as a thriving, knowledge-driven economy. At the heart of this success is a belief in economic openness to global markets, low tax rates, and investment in education.
