Named for the ironic coincidence of the Irish baby boom of the 1970s, which peaked nine months to the day after Pope John Paul II's historic visit to Dublin, The Pope's Children is both a celebration and bitingly funny portrait of the first generation of the Celtic Tiger-the beneficiaries of the economic miracle that propelled Ireland from centuries of deprivation into a nation that now enjoys one of the highest living standards in the world.

Quatrième de couverture :
Praise for The Pope′s Children
Biographie de l'auteur :
"A brilliant guide for the layman . . . a deft dissection of social mores. It is all great fun and, you′ll probably recognize yourself somewhere in there."
Irish Independent
"A great read . . . David McWilliams is Ireland′s most talked about young economist, often credited with coining the phrase Celtic Tiger. The Pope′s Children not only explains how our economic boom got going, but how it changed people′s lives here, not always for the better."
John Spain, Irish Voice
"The definitive description of the Ireland we live in. Read it and weep."
Sunday Tribune
"It′s like Tom Wolfe meets the Celtic Tiger. . . . It is bright, pacy, clever and entertaining, irreverent and full of attitude."
Jim O′Leary, Irish economist, The Village Magazine
"This is economics with soul. . . . If you want to know what modern Ireland
is really like, this is the book to read."
Nick Rossiter, Rumbles.net
"Brilliant and funny."
The Guardian
David McWilliams is a bestselling author and has been a regular on Irish television and radio since his award–winning Agenda current affairs program began in 2000. McWilliams who also hosts a current affairs talk show, The Big Bite has interviewed some of the most influential and thought–provoking individuals of our age, from Henry Kissinger and Mikhail Gorbachev to Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton. He has also published a new book in Ireland, The Generation Game. Before moving into writing and broadcasting McWilliams spent ten years in banking, first as an economist with the Irish Central Bank, then in investment banking with UBS where he was appointed the youngest director ever at the age of twenty–seven.
