Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Carlo M. Cipolla: Basic Laws of Human Stupidity (2020, Ebury Publishing) 5 stars

Review of 'Basic Laws of Human Stupidity' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

My first reaction at reading this little book is how bizarre it feels. It analyses human stupidity in a way that makes you giggle, but it also describes peculiarities of reality and that stays with you longer than expected. I found myself thinking about what these laws mean, specially in societies headed by the likes of Trump.
