Show Notes
Happy New Year! Join us as we nurse our hangovers and take a ride through 2024’s greatest hits—economic and otherwise. From the explosive surge of Swiftonomics (yes, Taylor Swift boosted Ireland’s GDP!) to the surprising resilience of the Centrist Dad Economy, we unpack the stories that defined the year. Did Apple’s €13 billion tax debacle teach us anything? Are we more Boston or Berlin as we outpace Europe in growth? And how did a housing market on the brink coexist with 160,000 fans belting out Anti-Hero in Croke Park? It’s Ireland’s year of contradictions, featuring corporate tax quirks, and the existential debate about whether we’re Connecticut with bad weather or the EU’s cheekiest tax haven. We’re diving deep into the economics of everything that happened this year.
