Bøker av Carlo M. Cipolla

Cipolla, the late, noted professor of economic history at the University of California, Berkeley, created a vitally important economic model that would allow us to detect, know and neutralise this threat: The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity.

In this work, Cipolla explores the slow but complex process of development that transformed Europe from its relatively weak position in 1000AD into the highly dynamic and powerful society of 1700.

The history of the clock opens a window on how different cultures have viewed time and on Europe's path to industrialization.

The Third Edition includes substantial revisions and new material throughout the book that will secure its standing as the most useful history available of preindustrial Europe.
