Recalling the Celtic Tiger
Summary
While clearly not all aspects of the period could realistically be covered, the book does contain essential information about the central actors, events, themes, and economic trends, which are discussed in a readable and accessible manner. Each entry is linked to the overall Celtic Tiger phenomenon and its immediate aftermath.
The book also provides a comprehensive account of what happened in this period and will be a factual resource for anyone anxious to discover information on the areas most commonly connected to it. All entries are written by experts in the area. The contributors include broadcasters, economists, cultural theorists, sociologists, literary critics, journalists, politicians and writers, each of whom brings particular insights to some aspect of the Celtic Tiger.

About the book
Recalling the Celtic Tiger looks at various effects, symptoms and consequences of what was a seismic period in Irish society. It traces the critical pathway from boom to bust – and up to the current beginnings of a similar, smaller boom – through events, personalities and products. The short entries, written by experts, offer a sense of the lived experience of this transformative event. Each entry is linked to the overall Celtic Tiger phenomenon and its immediate aftermath. The book also provides a revealing account of what happened during these years in the economic, social and cultural realms and will be a factual resource for anyone anxious to discover more about the wide-ranging ramifications and legacy left in its wake.
