In this seminar, Professors Frank Barry and Marcin Piątkowski contrast Ireland and Poland’s pathways to economic independence and growth, through the lens of industrial and economic policy. This, against the turbulence of world events straddling the 20th and 21st centuries. We look at the growth of these two European nations ex-post being constituent states of colonial empires.

The seminar was chaired by Dorota Piaskowska, associate professor in strategy and international business at University College Dublin, Ireland.

Frank Barry is Professor of International Business & Economic Development at Trinity Business School and a member of the Royal Irish Academy.

And Marcin Piątkowski is Professor of Economics at Kozminski University, Warsaw, and Lead Economist at the World Bank.

This talk was recorded in person with a live audience on April 8th, 2024, in the UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School, Dublin, Ireland.
