The Irish

Although for a very short while I lived in London, I never made it to Ireland or Scotland, and over the years as much as I intended to make a trip to one or both countries, other landscapes called.

Ireland has apparently been seeing a rather serious economic down-turn over the last couple of years.

Try as I might, and I did do Economics, understanding the cause and effect of downward spiralling of economies slips through my fingers as fast as dollar bills.

Is there a single moment when more is less?

Can property values be a mark of the spiral or the end of the road?

I can't put it all together, and pity it is, as it would help me understand economics on a smaller scale.
