Ireland's Celtic Tiger of the nineties was in great part driven by a new and highly educated, and technically trained workforce. The political stalemates of the forties and fifties delayed the initial, incomplete take-off until the sixties, and resulted in the Tiger arriving nearly a generation later than it might have.
Tom Garvin's bestselling and thought-provoking book looks at Ireland's public policy from 1920 to 1970, which, he argues, left large numbers of young people without preparation for life in the modern world.
