Garvin, Tom. Preventing the Future: Why was Ireland so poor for so long? Dublin, Gill and Macmillan, 2004. 16 x 24cm. (14), 278 pages. Original hardcover with dustjacket. Excellent condition other than sunning to spine.

Between the years of the mid thirties through to 1960, independent Ireland suffered from economic stagnation, and also went through a period of intense cultural and psychological repression. While external circumstances account for much of the stagnation – especially the depression of the thirties and the Second World War – Preventing the Future argues that the situation was aggravated by internal circumstances.
