Our globally-besieged world we know and live in today has become more than a troubled-prone environment. The act of terrorism to somextent had rendered us mentally paralyzed -in this vein we have become creatures of fears. As a result, allowing hatred to overshadow the beauty and uniqueness of love. Thus, if we want to free ourselves from such intrabondage, it is only prudent enough that we understand the rudiments of terrorism that appears to rub us of our predilections to travel and enjoy our inalienable rights given to us by the omnipotent father. And there's no better place to start than reading Krueger's book that is succint and easy to read and understand.
Prof. Krueger has connected the dots and makes a true grand slam home run with this slim volume on a critical subject of interest to people from every walk of life. You can take that to the bank. I found his copious and careful analysis of the kind of people who turn into terrorists, and their reasons, extremely compelling. he doesn't skimp on the economic analysis but he keeps it aimed at a general audience. Krueger is also a great writer. He has revised his public lecture into a great book that has truly opened my eyes to the real causes of terrorism.You owe it to yourself to study this book carefully for yourself and get away from the sloppy stereotypes of terrorism bandied about by politicians and the media.

In a series of three lectures, economist Alan Krueger offers 2 major insights on terrorism, one of them well known but oft forgotten, and the other somewhat more surprising. He then goes on to investigate various consequences of terrorism. Ultimately, his study leaves most of the truly difficult questions of terrorism unanswered - but given the enormity of the challenge, that is not really surprising.Krueger opens by demolishing a myth that should have died a long time ago - that terrorism is caused by economic depravity. It turns out that there is no statistical correlation between either poverty or lack of education and terrorism. Krueger points out that we tend to analogize terrorism to property crime, of which the poor are guiltier then the rich. But that is the wrong view - terrorism should be seen as the equivalent of voting - an activity carried out by the educated and well informed, not by the hungry and rather apolitical masses.In the second chapter, Krueger explores other issues relating to terrorism. His main conclusion is that terrorism is mostly a local issue: long range attacks such as 9/11 and 7/7 are the exception rather than the rule. Terrorism often works across religious lines: the targets of terrorist attacks are overwhelmingly members of another religion. But the particular religion doesn't matter: Islamic terrorists are no more widespread then other terrorists. Perhaps most significantly, Krueger finds that terrorists usually come from countries with poor civil and political liberties.The final lecture deals with the consequences of terrorism. Krueger presents two views of terror's economic effects: That it has a big, lasting effect, or that it is only a temporary thing. Overall, Krueger comes out in favor of the latter, although he concedes that there are good counter arguments.I think there are a lot of questions that are left unanswered in Krueger's study. First, Krueger does not differentiate his various terrorists. As I pointed out earlier, the ones involved in long range attacks like 9/11 are the exception, rather then the rule. Is the analysis Krueger offers for terrorists in general also relevant for al-Qaeda type terrorists? If terrorism is a world wide phenomenon, why are the majority of the terrorist attacks against US and Western targets Muslim or Arab in origin? More generally, what determines what target will a terrorist chose? Conceivably, North Koreans living under a dictatorship have legitimate grievances against the US for occupying their country - and yet North Korean terrorists are not attacking the US. The same could be said for Latin American and other East Asian countries.As Krueger points out, Terrorism is a tactic, not an enemy. The challenge of extreme Islam may be a unique danger even if it has no monopoly on the use of terrorism. And the alleged solution - promoting civil liberties and political rights in states that hate the West - may be worse then the disease, as we are learning, to our sorrow, from the Iraq fiasco.
if you are interested in terrorism, you will enjoy this book. Factual and will remember reading this book long after. I highly recommend it.
Professor Krueger crunches some numbers about the terrorism. He confirms old truths and uncovers new ones. He confirms that terrorists are mostly educated; that most insurgents in Iraq were Iraqis themselves; and that the foreigners who fought the Americans mostly hailed from poor and muslim neighbouring countries.We discover something new from the literature reviewn in the second part of the book. Some studies have quantified the terrorism's monetary costs and found that for affected companies the repercussions are indeed big: after attacks market capitalization drops by billions of dollars. It looks an enormous amount but it is still negligible for the economy as a whole: the US produces every year trillions of dollars in goods. Equally negligible is the impact on life satisfaction and elections.Why then do we worry so much? Because we humans overweight small but salient risks. Terrorists design attacks to get maximum attention. (Attacks occur in the mornings so that they can get reported on the entire day.) All the attention means that we get scared. And we forget that the chance of dying in of these attacks is vanishingly small (less than in five million, if you live in the US.)If yu want a primer on terrorism and the Iraq war, don't start with this book. If you already are familiar with the topic and are curious about some hard evidence, you will learn something.
