Ireland: A New Economic History, 1780-1939

Cormac Ö Gráda unites historical research with economic theory in this original and stimulating book, which will be essential reading for all students of Irish history. Within a broadly chronological framework, Ireland offers a fresh, comprehensive examination of all the well-known puzzles of Irish economic history including the inevitability of the Famine, the role of land tenure in agricultural backwardness, and the failure of the economy to industrialize. O'Gráda's account is both accessible, with technical discussion kept to a minimum, and intellectually exciting.
