Synopsis "Allegro ma non Troppo (in Spanish)"

Este es uno de los libros más inteligentes y divertidos que se hayan escrito nunca. Parodia de divertissement dieciochesco, juega con la paradoja y el absurdo para construir una auténtica metodología del ridículo. En la primera parte del libro, «El papel de las especias en el desarrollo económico de la Edad Media», Cipolla razona con una argumentación paródica de los estudios de historia económica más sesudos y utiliza, con aparente seriedad, fórmulas cliométricas deliciosamente absurdas para llegar a las más estrafalarias relaciones de causa a efecto. En la segunda parte, «Las leyes fundamentales de la estupidez humana», se usa un modelo matemático parecido a los de la sociología, con gráficos de dispersión incluidos, para enunciar esas leyes, que demuestran cuán abundante es el número de estúpidos que nos rodean y cuán grande su poder.

Carlo M. Cipolla (Pavia, 1922 – 2000) was an Italian economic historian known for his humanistic and humorous approach to the study of economics and society. Throughout his career, he taught at various universities, including Pavia, Pisa, and Berkeley. In 1995, he received the Balzan Prize for his contributions to the field.

Among his most notable works are "Economic History of Pre-industrial Europe" (1994) and "Allegro ma non troppo" (1988), where he presents his well-known Theory of Human Stupidity. This essay explores, with a satirical focus, how stupidity influences social and economic dynamics. His work has been the subject of study and reflection in various fields, from economics to sociology.

El libro tiene dos partes, interesantes ambas, pero en realidad lo compre por la 2da, "las leyes de la estupidez humana". Encontré lo que buscaba. Sintético y práctico

El libro es muy inteligente y hasta divertido. Se lee con gusto. Lo recomiendo vivamente. Pero pagar 555 pesos mexicanos por un libro que cuesta en España 8,95 euros me pareció excesivo.
