Carlo M. Cipolla

Writer

Italian economic historian and author known for essays on human behaviour, including the essay commonly known as The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity.

Wrote essays combining economic history and irony; authorship of 'The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity' is publicly known.

Single enthusiastic review praises Allegro ma non troppo as a brilliant, tiny booklet. The review highlights an essay on pepper's role in medieval history and a humorous statement of the laws of human stupidity. Recommended as a short, cheerful read.

For:Readers interested in short, witty essays on history and human behaviour.

 I can't find an adjective other than BRILLIANT to describe this little book.
