Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the complex history of absenteeism in Ireland, a phenomenon with roots in the country's colonial past. The author demonstrates how the practice of wealthy Irish landowners spending most of their time and money outside of Ireland had disastrous consequences for the Irish economy and society. Drawing on historical documents and the writings of influential figures including Edmund Spenser and Queen Elizabeth I, the author argues that absenteeism was a key factor in the widespread poverty and political instability that plagued Ireland for centuries. In addition to providing a comprehensive overview of the topic, this book also explores the broader significance of absenteeism as a form of oppression, contributing to a deeper understanding of the historical and ongoing power dynamics that have shaped Ireland's relationship with England.
