Who gets paid behind all the tragedy and the fraud…

I sat down at my desk today and drew up a rough plan for a book on money, credit and banking in Ireland.
It’s doubtful if the finished thing will relate to this at all, but for me the drawing of a map of themes and ideas is just a way of marking the start of the process.
I reckon it’ll take between eighteen months and two years to research and write.
As with the last book, I’ll post stuff on it as I go along. I found the blog a great way of working out ideas so hopefully the same will happen this time as well.
And hopefully I can look back on it in two years’ time and see how much it changed and developed as the research progressed and the analysis grew.
Anyway, it’s a simple enough thing to do but that’s it, the process has started.
The title of this post comes from the following clip from The Wire.
Enjoy.
Although your focus is Ireland, it seems to me that it might be useful to look at Steve Keen (who is in Dublin during the week — see if you can blag a seat at his talk at TASC), who has a lot to say about the role of debt creation in the crises.
