Reaction to Jim O'Leary

07/08/2009

Jim O'Leary's article in today's Irish Times, arguing that "given the enormous scale of the problem, it would be fanciful to suppose that it can be solved without at least some reductions in public spending, and anyone who doubts this cannot really be regarded as a serious participant in the public discourse on the matter", has generated quite a debate in the blogosphere. Michael Taft, of Notes on the Front and Progressive Economy, parses Mr. O'Leary's piece here, and it is also being debated on Irish Economy here.
