Debt and Dependence


Many have fought and died in the name of Irish independence. Now a who's who of 
global finance is telling them how to correct their financial crisis. How are 
the Irish coping with the fact that outsiders are telling them what to do? 

*       Liam Kennedy is a professor of economic and social history at Queen's 
University Belfast.

And: The 2000s have made clear the strength of international capital. Are we 
really as independent as we thought we were? What does sovereignty mean in an 
age when financial capital is traded as easily as collectibles? And how 
difficult is it to govern in a time of austerity? 

*       Paul Martin was the 21st prime minister of Canada, and served as 
federal finance minister from 1993 to June 2002.

Then: Have you ever wondered how much of your country's debt was owned by 
foreign bond holders? 

*       Hank Cunningham is the fixed income strategist for Odlum Brown Limited, 
and the author of In Your Best Interest: The Ultimate Guide to the Canadian 
Bond Market.
