In many ways Ireland has been a test bed for the working out of the crisis of modern capitalism. In the guise of the Celtic Tiger it was the most exuberant and uncontrolled of the neoliberal models. After the crash it was the model of savage austerity coupled with appeasement of the banks. Now, quietly, on Black Thursday, 30th September, it has become the first economy where capitalist strategy hit the rocks and left Ireland and Europe facing into the abyss.
