3195 [lbo-talk] Irish economy -- rank: 1000
Anyone know anything about the Irish economy? I'm just looking at some stats and am surprised by the huge trade surplus (corporate tax shelter services?) and strong productivity growth (way ahead of Germany's, which is way ahead of most of the rest of Europe). But bubble, then bust. Wuzzup? Doug
