First sentence: While the analysis of the Celtic Tiger was expected to present difficulties from an economic and historical perspective, an even more formidable challenge arose given the sociological context of the study.
Description: "Fields traces the origins of recent economic growth in Ireland over a long period of development. In doing so, he opens up an old debate with new data, interpretations and evidence that will force many to question existing truths about the role of religion in economic growth."--Jacket.
