This is an unusual collection of laws and aphorisms by Charles Issawi, the renowned economists and Middle East scholar. Professor Issawi has formulated principles on revolution, progress, social science, politics, economics, and Americana, Et Cetera in an erudite and humorous way. He is a keen observer of social and historical problems, and his definitions are evocative, to say the least. The more serious reader may find his irony, humor, and tongue-in-cheek satire compelling.
