The &quot;beware the tech bubble&quot; stories can get repetitive, or feel like cheap scaremongering. This one gets points, though, for correctly noting that Fed policies designed to strengthen a large economy can cause overheating in some areas or sectors.<p>For another example, see Ireland&#x27;s experience under the ECB. Drastically lower interest rates set by the central commission weren&#x27;t the sole cause, but a major contributing factor of their boom and bust economy and accompanying housing bubble.<p><a href="http://www.notourdebt.ie/the-roots-of-irelands-debt-crisis" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.notourdebt.ie&#x2F;the-roots-of-irelands-debt-crisis</a>
