The Political Economy of the Irish Welfare State is at once a coherent and provocative examination of the role of social policy in shaping modern Ireland, a comparative analysis of Irish modernisation and a vital contribution to Irish social history. It combines both breath of analysis and lucid focus. Professor Powell's landmark book should be required reading for students of modern Irish history, Irish society and Irish institutions. Professor Bryan Fanning, University College Dublin
