What Makes a Terrorist: Economics and the Roots of Terrorism (New Edition)

This book has some insights but it is clearly written for other economists. If you do not understand economics well, you will only understand half of this book. Moreover, the author is so reluctant to draw conclusions from his research--with good reason, I should add--that it is almost a tease. The conclusions from his findings are very tentative, so while we learn some things from this book, we see how complex terrorism is and how difficult it is to draw broad conclusions about it.
