“We need to stop the drift in politics and economics,” says Irish economist David McWilliams.
McWilliams is talking about Ireland and asking where the nation goes for the next two decades as European agricultural support programs wind up and Irish tax advantages erode.
That conversation though is one that every economy, every nation and every community needs to be having in the face of a rapidly changing world.
Assuming that what’s working, or muddling along, today will be successful tomorrow is a brave belief.
