'This book should be an essential text for anyone with a serious interest in Ireland's recent economic and social history...This book will provoke and challenge the reader but at last we have a book that raises fundamental questions about religion and Ireland's economic transformation.' Dr John Goodwin, University of Leicester, UK. 'This is an innovative piece of work that challenges conventional explanations of the sources of social and economic development... This is a significant contribution at a time when the emergence of new industrial economies across the world is once again pushing this topic to the forefront of public debate. Bryan Fields has performed a great service for both academics and policy makers in forcing us to re-think our positions.' Professor David Ashton, Leicester University, UK '...a thought-provoking study...raises interesting questions. Fields has offered new and challenging insights extending the frontiers of an old debate which, in the present climate, is more deserving than ever of further study.' Irish Studies Review 'This is a valuable study in that it presents the attitudes of ordinary people...who played a part in the emergence of the Celtic Tiger.' Irish Sociological Review
