Have you had enough of politiciansrsquo; rhetoric; or of the failure of tired institutions to keep up with our rapidly changing world? Then meet the young; new thinkers of Ireland as they share their vision for the future. Here; twenty-one of our leading creative thinkers and problem-solvers rip up the rule book and start again; presenting a new vision for Ireland. They cover a diverse range of topics that affect all our lives; from Art to Diaspora; Religion to Research and Banking. These are tomorrowrsquo;s leaders; and the future is bright. Some essays propose radical ideas ndash; imagine democratically run companies; three-day working weeks; a Google bank; and safer roads bereft of signs or markings ndash; while others outline simple reforms that can help Ireland become a global leader. In most instances; contributors have looked to the past to inform their vision of the future. In others; they have drawn on contemporary success stories. This is a book about being Irish; about being resilient and; as surprising as it may sound; about overcoming current hardships to stand as a model for other countries to follow.

The author seems to be using the same characters that we all know and love; but most of them seem out of character. Its also a musical so every once in a while the characters burst out in song. This can be anoying; especially when you consider the fact that there is on music written for it. The authors tell people to write their own simple music. This is a disaster waiting to happen! The redeeming quality of the book is the other "helps" that are included in it. They are very good and in depth dispite how short they are. Overall; I do not recommend this purchase0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Best Edition by farBy JIt has a much cleaner lay-out than another version I came across making it a A LOT easier to read and study. Plenty of extra research info through the beginning and final pages. LOVED IT!! Thank you
