David McWilliams is one of Ireland’s leading economic commentators and was the first economist to identify the Irish boom as nothing more than a credit bubble, warning of its collapse and the consequences for the country. His objective is to make economics as widely available and easily understandable on as many platforms as possible.
He is a writer, journalist, lecturer, broadcaster and documentary maker and has written four bestsellers. He writes two economics columns a week in the Irish newspapers and is the co-founder of the world’s only economics festival www.kilkenomics.com - an eclectic combination of economics and stand-up comedy.
Once upon a time he had a real job working as an economist first in the Irish Central Bank and later in the financial markets with UBS and Banque Nationale de Paris. He studied economics at Trinity College Dublin and the College of Europe in Bruges.
