Ireland appears to be in the throes of a remarkable process of
social change. The purpose of this book is to systematically
scrutinize the interpretations and prescriptions that inform the
deceptively simple metaphor of the "Celtic Tiger." The standpoint
of the book is that a more critical approach to the course of
development being followed by the Republic is urgently required.
The essays collected here set out to expose the fallacies that
drive the fashionable rhetoric of Tigerhood. Four of these
fallacies--that Ireland has cast off the chains of economic
dependency, that everyone is benefiting from the economic recovery,
that personal freedom and liberty are at an unprecedented level for
all citizens, and that Ireland is also experiencing a period of
strong cultural renaissance--are vigorously challenged.
