Let's talk about the future ... How old will you be in 2050, and how old will your children, or nephews and nieces, be? What will you be doing, and where will you be living? How much will a cup of coffee cost? And will you be able to afford it? We all have a stake in Ireland's future, and many of us will probably see the year 2050, but we don't necessarily act as though we will. As a country, we face serious threats from economic uncertainty, climate change, inequality, energy security and an ageing population - and, contrary to popular belief. technology won't solve all our problems. Work, leisure, travel, climate, housing and government are amongst the many areas investigated by economist Stephen Kinsella, as he suggests how we - and the fictional Murphy family - will go about daily life in 2050. Ireland in 2050 asks some truly vital questions and delivers a fascinating and iargon-free account of the kind of Irealnd we might like to have in 2050--and the one we might end up with, if we make the wrong choices now. --Book Jacket.
