Leading politicians and scholars have argued that poverty and lack of education breed terrorism, despite the wealth of evidence showing that most terrorists come from middle-class, and often college-educated, backgrounds. In What Makes a Terrorist, Alan Krueger argues that if we are to correctly assess the root causes of terrorism and successfully address the threat, we must think more like economists do. Krueger is an influential economist who has applied rigorous statistical analysis to a range of tough issues, from the minimum wage and education to the occurrence of hate crimes. In this book, he explains why our tactics in the fight against terrorism must be based on more than anecdote and speculation. Krueger closely examines the factors that motivate individuals to participate in terrorism, drawing inferences from terrorists' own backgrounds and the economic, social, and political conditions in the societies from which they come. He describes which countries are the most likely breeding grounds for terrorists, and which ones are most likely to be their targets. Krueger addresses the economic and psychological consequences of terrorism. He puts the terrorist threat squarely into perspective, revealing how our nation's sizeable economy is diverse and resilient enough to withstand the comparatively limited effects of most terrorist strikes. And he calls on the media to be more responsible in reporting on terrorism. What Makes a Terrorist brings needed clarity to one of the greatest challenges of our time.Lionel Robbins lectures.TerrorismEconomic aspectsTerrorismTerroristsTerrorismEconomic aspects.Terrorism.Terrorists.363.32511Krueger Alan B., 121964DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996200056903316What makes a terrorist49960UNISA01244nam 2200421 450 991016421120332120230809222728.01-4988-1571-5(CKB)3710000001057562(MiAaPQ)EBC4802822(EXLCZ)99371000000105756220170303h20172017 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierEbola global status /Stephen Berger, MD2017 edition.Los Angeles, California :GIDEON Informatics, Inc.,2017.©20171 online resource (46 pages) illustrations (some color), tables, graphsGideon E-Book SeriesIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.Gideon e-book series.Ebola virus diseaseEbola virus diseaseStatisticsEbola virus disease.Ebola virus disease614.588Berger Stephen1210032MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910164211203321Ebola3409566UNINA01247nam0 22002893i 450 VAN009998620240531091054.404978-88-689-5059-020141126d2014 |0itac50 baitaIT|||| |||||Design della menteInfografica e data visualizationscritto da Paolo Bottazzini, Michele GotuzzoMilanoLSWR2014227 p.ill.23 cm001VAN00999882001 Modelli di business210 MilanoLSWR.MilanoVANL000284BottazziniPaoloVANV078414721941GotuzzoMicheleVANV078416721940LSWRVANV114242650ITSOL20240607RICAhttp://www.lswr.it/documenti_scaricabili/estratti_libri/2014/MDB/Estratto_InfoDataVis.pdfhttp://www.lswr.it/documenti_scaricabili/estratti_libri/2014/MDB/Estratto_InfoDataVis.pdfBIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI INGEGNERIAIT-CE0100VAN05VAN0099986BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI INGEGNERIA05PREST Q I 022 05UBI22 20141126 Design della mente1411223UNICAMPANIA
