Description
Explore the complex economic history of Ireland between 1800 and 1850 in this analytical study by Professor Mokyr. While Western Europe experienced unprecedented economic growth and capital formation due to technical changes, Ireland remained largely disconnected from this prosperity. This book investigates the fundamental reasons why the Irish economy failed to grow during a period when the Northern Atlantic Economy was thriving. Professor Mokyr examines the causes behind the Great Irish Famine of 1845-50, an event that resulted in the deaths of 1.5 million people and forced hundreds of thousands to flee. By analyzing the overall underdevelopment of the economy, this work seeks to solve the historical riddle of why Ireland starved while other regions prospered. It is a deep dive into the quantitative and analytical factors that shaped a nation during a period of massive global change.
