    About this ebook

    As the BOTOX ECONOMY was laid bare and the financial filler of other people's money became evident, the JAGGERS, JUGGLERS and BONO BOOMERS struggled to maintain their slice of a diminished pie.
    However the author saw a possible solution to Ireland's quandaries. Taking a trip around the globe from Shanghai to New York, from Latin America to Central Europe, he says we can learn from history and appreciate that Ireland has a unique economic resource: OUR GLOBAL TRIBE.
    If we exploit the demographic potential of the Diaspora, we can re-invigorate the nation. The prosperity of future Irish generations is based on harnessing the collective power of past generations. This is the global GENERATION GAME.

      Almost every sentence in this book is inaccurate or otherwise flawed, but if you read past the deets you actually come away with some interesting truths about how the Irish see themselves today and the idea that the diaspora could be the salvation of the mother country's soul. Just ignore all the adjectives.(Chest still hurts).
    • 4/5
      This accompanied a tv series that I unfortunately / fortunately missed. There is a lot of potential here for launching rants from me (and may later, elsewhere); because he hits some sensitive points, some I agree with and some I would disagree with. Then again I have a suspicion that we're not in agreement politics wise.This is a look at the Irish and how we're overextended in credit and heading for a recession. Not a difficult thing to predict and some of the points he makes about the ruling class/politicians being out of contact with the general populous sounds like the truth to me. Ireland has to face up to some of it's forthcoming problems. I think Mr McWilliams has a somewhat simplistic view of the way things work. I found the first two thirds interesting but the last third just made me quite annoyed with his rampant generalisations.
