Section 12.6 A Global Economy needs more than Local Policies pp. 257-258 sums it up - multi-lateralism. I very much agree .. but how? Table 12.1 p. 247 Ireland, for 2009, has second worst private investment, worst residential investment, and impressive export ....... so madness to export all this 'human capital' at the moment - we need more investment here as the Scandinavians recognise ............ now and medium term we need to up-value-chain as we export or starve ........ race to bottom is pointless as we cannot compete on low-skill low-wage ......

Table 12.1 p. 247 Ireland, for 2009, has second worst private investment, worst residential investment, and impressive export ……. so madness to export all this ‘human capital’ at the moment - we need more investment here as the Scandinavians recognise ………… now and medium term we need to up-value-chain as we export or starve …….. race to bottom is pointless as we cannot compete on low-skill low-wage ……
