The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity

“The number of stupid  people  in life is always and inevitably underestimated by everyone.” This is the First Fundamental Law of Human Stupidity Cipolla asserts.

Attracting the attention of the readers  from all over the world, stupid and mad  people   have been written about with endless fascination since at least the Renaissance; from encomions  to socio-psychological studies, from essays by Erasmus to  plays by Shakespeare or Dante, inspiring  the satisfaction of discovering a world that we are all convinced we are not a part of.
