Marc Coleman is Economics Editor of Newstalk 106 to 108 and an economic commentator.
Marc Coleman was born in Dublin but lived as a child in Erlangen, Bavaria before returning to Ireland in the mid-1970s. He was a member of Fine Gael in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Coleman became Newstalk's Economics Editor in 2007 after working for The Irish Times
between 2005 and 2007. He now also writes for Ireland's largest Sunday paper, the Sunday Independent
, broadcasts a weekly current affairs programme "Coleman at Large" on Newstalk 106-108fm and regularly speaks at public events.
A graduate of the Kiel Institute of World Economics, Coleman also holds both a scholarship MBA and Master's degree from University College Dublin and a primary degree from Trinity College, Dublin
.
Coleman's publications prior to joining The Irish Times included articles in the ESRI Quarterly Economic Commentary, the Jesuit publication Studies, Administration magazine and Magill
magazine.
In 2007 he published The Best is Yet to Come. The book forecast the continued growth in the Irish economy as well as a sustainable construction Industry for the years ahead. As of 2011, Ireland was in deep recession with the virtual collapse of the construction Industry, rising unemployment and zero growth rate throughout the economy.
Late in 2009, Coleman published "Back from the Brink" in which Coleman prescribed policies that he argued would accelerate economic recovery in Ireland and the world. One of these policies included multi-generational mortgages as a way to spread Ireland's debt burden over time.
