Brodie contends that, while the Irish state's investment in creative and technological sectors of media was supposed to bring resources back into the country and stabilize the economy, it instead rendered the country even more vulnerable to future instability and transferred wealth into the hands of multinational corporations. Through ethnographic work and close engagement with the Irish state's policy and planning across a number of key media infrastructure sites, Brodie unfolds the very real environmental and social impacts of Ireland's naturalized model of financialized, foreign direct investment-led infrastructural development. Richly researched and comprehensively argued, \u003ci\u003eWild Tides\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the multifarious, unexpected ways that financialization reaches into the daily life of a nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatrick Brodie is Assistant Professor in the School of Information and Communication Studies at University College Dublin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 298\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.67 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 31, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52962790506607,"sku":"9781478038542","price":58.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4966\/4879\/files\/wtX8CmFxOI9781478038542.webp?v=1776423075","url":"https:\/\/finderbooks.com\/products\/wild-tides-media-infrastructure-and-financial-crisis-in-ireland-paperback","provider":"Finder Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
