    The book that has been waiting to be written – how Ireland’s housing policy has locked an entire generation out of the housing market and what we should do about it. 
    Millennials are the first generation in Ireland to be worse off than their parents. Trapped in a game of rental roulette, stuck living at home as adults, and many on the brink of homelessness, the Irish housing crisis has defined the lives of an entire generation – and it is set to continue. 
    With housing costs in Ireland the highest in the EU, the property ladder has been kicked from under thousands. So how did we get here … and how do we break the cycle? 
    In Gaffs, housing expert Rory Hearne urges us to think about the people behind the statistics, and shows us that there is a way towards a future where everyone has access to a home. 
    In Gaffs, Rory Hearne, a renowned expert in sociology and economics, delves into the heart of the Irish housing crisis, exposing the economic disparity and social classes struggle. He presents a compelling argument, backed by top-notch research, about the dire need for a shift in public policy.

    Is it possible to renew the mind? - 24 May 1967 
    • When the mind is living through imagination and thought, it is incapable of 
    living in the complete fullness of the present. 
    • Thought has created time, not chronological time but psychological time. That 
    is, ‘I will be,’ ‘I should be.’ 
    • Is it possible for the brain to be quiet, to give an interval between the old and 
    the new? This interval is the timeless nature in which thought cannot possibly 
    enter. 
    • That which has continuity is repetitive, which is time. It’s only when time 
    comes to an end there is something new taking place. 
    • To die every day to every problem, every pleasure, and not carry over any 
    problem at all; so the mind remains tremendously attentive, active, clear. 
    • Since love is not desire or pleasure, how does one come upon it? 
    • Q: Is the feeling of responsibility a part of the order and discipline you were 
    talking about? 
    • Q: Why don’t people get angry with what you are saying?

    A case for why regionalization, not globalization, has been the biggest economic trend of the past forty years 
     
     
     
    The conventional wisdom about globalization is wrong. Over the past forty years as companies, money, ideas, and people went abroad more often than not, they looked regional rather than globally. O'Neil details this transformation and the rise of three major regional hubs in Asia, Europe, and North America. Current technological, demographic, and geopolitical trends look only to deepen these regional ties. O'Neil argues that this has urgent implications for the United States. Regionalization has enhanced economic competitiveness and prosperity in Europe and Asia. It could do the same for the United States, if only it would embrace its neighbors.

    The origins of capitalism can be traced back to the gradual shift from feudal economies to market-based systems. In medieval Europe, wealth was primarily tied to land ownership, with a rigid social hierarchy that limited economic mobility. The feudal system depended on agrarian production, where peasants worked the land owned by nobles in exchange for protection. However, as trade expanded and urban centers grew, the foundations of capitalism began to emerge. 
    One of the earliest indicators of this transformation was the rise of merchant guilds and early banking systems. As trade routes connected Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, merchants sought more efficient ways to conduct business, leading to the establishment of guilds that regulated commerce and maintained quality standards. Banking families, such as the Medici in Renaissance Italy, played a crucial role in financing trade and investment, paving the way for modern financial institutions. The shift toward money-based transactions rather than bartering allowed wealth to accumulate outside the traditional feudal framework. 
    Another key development was the concept of private property and individual ownership. In the late medieval period, the enclosure movement in England marked a significant departure from communal farming practices. Landowners began fencing off common lands for private use, displacing many rural laborers and forcing them to seek employment in emerging industries. This shift not only created a labor force for industrial production but also reinforced the idea that property and capital could be owned, bought, and sold freely—an essential pillar of capitalism.
