For the first time, the laws of human stupidity - a phenomenon as powerful and eternal as a phenomenon of nature - are wittily and elegantly formulated. Are there fools among Nobel laureates, what is the difference between a fool and a bandit, what is the damage a fool does to the common cause, are there many fools in the population, how to recognize and neutralize their "dark force" - the answers to these pressing questions in the excellent work of economic historian Carlo Cipolla. At the same time, "this little book is by no means neither a breed of cynicism nor an exercise in defeatism," for it is full of humor (or sarcasm), quite scientific and a success with readers around the world. Also published under one cover for the first time in Russian is the essay "Pepper, Wine (and Wool)" - A vivid and very compact analysis of how things we perceive as long familiar and ordinary played a truly revolutionary role in the history of medieval Europe.
