About This Book

An economist outlines five fundamental laws that define human stupidity as a universal and destructive force. Through a structured analytical lens, the book classifies individuals based on the impact of their actions on others and themselves, identifying stupid people as those who cause losses to others without gain. This short essay provides a satirical yet sharp framework for understanding irrational behavior in society.
