The Republic of Ireland in 1958 abandoned its self-imposed
isolation from the modern world for the promise of social and
economic progress. State initiatives to promote industrial
development coincided with an expanding world economy, and served
to promote rapid and radical change in almost every aspect of Irish
society. However, the massive growth served to reinforce, not
weaken the class barriers, and the policies of successive
governments generated change without achieving economic prosperity.
The aim of this study is to assemble and interpret these economic
and social changes since 1960, placing them in the context of the
Irish experience since independence, and comparing Ireland's
problems and economic progress to that of other developed
countries. The authors argue that the late and rapid economic
development transformed the Republic of Ireland without securing
either economic prosperity or equality of opportunity.
