Discover your Inner Economist, Italian edition

Here is one place to buy it and here.  Here are other relevant purchase sites.  I believe it is available in both hardcover and paperback, although don’t hold me to that claim.

The mid-title — Scopri l’economista che è in te — still resembles "Discover Your Inner Economist."  But now the book has a new lead title : "No Crac" ["No Nonsense"?] and a new subtitle, something like "How to survive the great depression and be happy," or so I am told by Maria Pia Paganelli.

In this context, crac means economic meltdown, crisis.

I have not read the book in translation, but the title is uncontroversially ugly. The blurb is more appropriate for a self-help book. And most definitely “fare bella figura mentre si viene torturati” != “surviving torture”. What’s wrong with “Sopravvivere alla tortura”? Tyler’s book did not deserve this.

Just bought the book, in Italian of course.

Moreover, Chapter 5 of the English version is “Look Good at Home, on a Date or While Being Tortured”, so I hold that the blurb “fare bella figura mentre si viene torturati” is correct.

Ciao

It is a self-help book!
