3 quotes from The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity

  • "Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation."

  • "Non-stupid people always underestimate the harmful potential of stupid individuals."

Author : Carlo M. Cipolla

Carlo M. Cipolla (August 15, 1922 – September 5, 2000) was a distinguished Italian economic historian renowned for his insightful contributions to the field. Born in Pavia, he earned his degree in 1944 and initially aspired to teach history and philosophy. However, his academic journey took a decisive turn under the mentorship of Franco Borlandi, sparking a deep interest in economic history. Cipolla furthered his studies at prestigious institutions such as the Sorbonne and the London School of Economics. He began his teaching career in Catania at the age of 27, eventually holding positions at several renowned Italian universities and abroad. A Fulbright fellow in 1953, he later became a visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley, where he secured a full professorship two years thereafter. Cipolla's work, particularly evident in his book "The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity," reflects his keen understanding of the complexities of human behavior within economic contexts.
