ECONOMICS FOR IRISHMEN. By " PAT." 



Cloth, 21- net. Paper cover, 1 /- net. 



This is an inquiry into the peculiarities of the productive 

 process in Ireland, especially the hindrances ; in other 

 words, it attempts to show why Ireland is poor and decay- 

 ing, and special attention has been given to customs and 

 characteristics of the people as causes of their own poverty. 

 It is quite independent as to party standpoints, and con- 

 fined strictly to lines of economic and sociological investi- 

 gation. It has been written in the field and in the work- 

 shop rather than in the library, with living facts as its 

 main data ; but the author has also a university qualifica- 

 tion in economics, not to mention a good deal of economic 

 writing already to his credit, both in Dublin and in 

 London, or the further fact that he puts his doctrines into 

 practice as an Irish agriculturist. 



" There is a tradition among re "viewers that < n!y big 

 books deserve careful reviews ; but anyone who will take 

 t e trouble to read ' Pat's ' Economics for Irishmen will 

 be forced to the conclusion that the book is a serious con- 

 tribution to the discussion of many Irish questions, 



although it is issued in paper covers It is the 



work of a man who has a clear insight into the root- 

 principles of sound economics, and who possesses a happy 

 knack of expressing those principles in racy phrases that 

 are far more effective than the ponderous elaborations of 

 the academic professor." Spectator.
