Kilkenomics
Jamie Robertson and guests are at the Irish comedy and economics festival to discuss whether we've mortgaged our children's future by getting so deeply into debt.
We make our annual pilgrimage to Kilkenomics, the economics and comedy festival in Ireland. The country's got the green light this week to exit its bailout programme, imposed three years ago. Surely that's good news? Jamie Robertson and his band of economic thinkers - David McWilliams, Deirdre McCloskey and Dan Ariely - discuss whether we've sacrificed our children's future by getting so deeply into debt. And is even having children an act of foolish optimism?
Plus, as the programme's being recorded in a bar, listen out for the inaugural In the Balance pub quiz with our very own quizmaster Colm O'Regan, ably assisted by the audience and the house band.
