«Allegro ma non troppo» is the satirical essay by Carlo M. Cipolla, published by Booket in paperback (104 pages, in Spanish).
This work by Carlo M. Cipolla parodies economic history and sociology: in the first essay, he analyses with false erudition the role of spices in the medieval economy and employs absurd cliometric formulas; in the second, he humorously sets out the fundamental laws of human stupidity using mathematical models and scatter plots.
The 2001 edition of «Allegro ma non troppo» belongs to the Biblioteca de Bolsillo collection (no. 1) and includes the translation by María Pons Irazazábal.
It will appeal to readers of essays and humour, as well as to those who want to see the methods of economic history and sociology parodied.
Carlo Maria Cipolla was an Italian economic historian. He was a member of both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society.
