Krueger Narrator: Jonathan Hogan Format: mp3 Length: 6 hrs and 19 mins Release date: 01-26-18 Ratings: 3.5 out of 5 stars, 7 ratings Genres: International Publisher's Summary: If we are to correctly assess the root causes of terrorism and successfully address the threat, we must think more like economists do. This is the argument of Alan Krueger's What Makes a Terrorist, a book that explains why our tactics in the fight against terrorism must be based on more than anecdote, intuition, and speculation. Many popular ideas about terrorists and why they seek to harm us are fueled by falsehoods, misinformation, and fearmongering. Many believe that poverty and lack of education breed terrorism, despite the wealth of evidence showing that most terrorists come from middle-class, and often college-educated, backgrounds.
