Viac o knihe

Among the avalanche of statistics - as toxic as the property-based assets that lay beneath many of them-none was more revealing than that Ireland's bad bank, the National Asset: Management Agency (NAMA) held more (worthless) assets than any publicly quoted property company in the world, dwarfing giants such as GE Capital Real Estate and Morgan Stanley Real Estate." "Under all the debris lay the corpse of the Celtic Tiger. How Ireland managed to achieve such a spectacular implosion is a stunning story of corruption, carelessness, and venality, told with passion and fury by one of Ireland's most respected journalists and commentators." --Book Jacket.
