Abstract
In this paper, we explore successive waves of neoliberalization in Ireland. We contend that
neoliberalization remained largely
“
invisible
”
during the Celtic Tiger because a property
bubble permitted a period of debt-driven growth, but was revealed and politicized by the
crisis. Mobilizing the ideas of topology and topography, we explore the relationships which
unfolded between the
“
fi
nancialization
”
of the global economy and the two twin pillars of
the Irish crisis narrative: property and debt. We conclude that there is a need for future
studies to consider how neoliberalism,
fi
nancialization and uneven development are being
reshaped by geographically situated responses to the crisis
