BOOKS, ARTICLES AND REPORTS CITED IN SINS OF THE FATHER
Apr 16th, 2011 by Conor McCabe
The full bibliography is below the fold. There are some titles, however, which I found more useful than others.
This is not to get into a canon or anything, but in terms of the economic development of the Free State and Republic, I think these titles provide a lot of insight and analysis. Certainly they did for me.
A few of them I’ve highlighted before, and where I have there’s a link to the page.
