About the book
Carlo M. Cipolla presents a satirical essay that defines and analyzes stupidity as a historical force as powerful as chance. Through seemingly simple 'laws,' the Italian economic historian dissects how stupid people indiscriminately harm themselves and others, offering a skeptical, entertaining, and disturbingly accurate view of the human condition.
