Abstract

We demonstrate how society-wide intergenerational transmission of trauma, ignored in economic models drove the Irish property bubble. Ireland’s ‘obsession’ with property owning is a psychic attempt, through repetition compulsion, to transcend the traumatic past and ‘inhabit’ an idealized pre-colonial fantasy land. We also explain why the property bubble is almost inevitably being re-enacted so soon with no apparent learning.
