"L'individu stupide est le type d'individu le plus dangereux."
Carlo M. Cipolla Livres
15 août 1922 – 5 septembre 2000
Carlo M. Cipolla était un historien économique italien dédié à la découverte des forces fondamentales qui façonnent la civilisation humaine. Son travail se caractérise par une ampleur extraordinaire, allant des finances médiévales à l'histoire des maladies, et par un aperçu aiguisé de la manière dont les facteurs économiques ont façonné les sociétés. Cipolla est devenu célèbre pour son style narratif fluide et captivant, qui a rendu même les concepts historiques complexes accessibles à un large public. Ses essais et ses livres offrent une perspective unique sur la façon dont l'humanité a évolué et s'est adaptée aux défis de la vie économique.

From back cover: 'This book presents a global view of the demographic and economic development of mankind. Professor Cipolla has deliberately adopted a new point of view and has tried to trace the history of the great trends in population and wealth which have affected mankind as a while. For it would have been inadequate to regard such a global history as being merely the sum total of national economic histories in abridged form. Among the massive problems that face the human race the author emphasizes the demographic explosion, the economic backwardness of vast areas, the spread of industrial revolution and of technical knowledge,. Whilst hte theoretical approach can help our analysis of these problems, Professor Cipolla believes that they can only wholly grasped and solved when they are studied in their full historical perspective.

Cipolla untersucht die Geschichte der Uhr vom 14. bis zum 18. Jahrhundert. Seine kulturgeschichtliche Betrachtung ist in zwei große Abschnitte geteilt: die handwerkliche Entstehung der mechanischen Uhr in Europa und, zweitens, ihre Rolle im Tauschhandel mit Asien.
Sono tre storie curiose, fuori dal comune, ma tutte rigorosamente vere. La prima storia è ambientata nel '300 e riguarda una famiglia fiorentina potentissima dall'intensa attività finanaziaria. Andati a picco per insolvenza della corona inglese cui avevano prestato somme ingentissime, ne combinano di tutti i colori: si danno a intrighi politici, al brigantaggio, agli omicidi, all'attività di falsari. La seconda storia riguarda una truffa clamorosa che, intorno alla metà del '600, ebbe come protagonisti alcuni nobili liguri. Nell'ultima storia Cipolla si sofferma su un'opera apparsa nella seconda metà del '600 in Francia, Le parfait négociant, una sorta di Bibbia del commercio e delle frodi relativa ai vari paesi d'Europa.
