Unconventional Wisdom: The Economist Explains

Adventures in the Surprisingly True

Ed. Tom Standage
These 106 articles represent the oddest and most counter-intuitive truths that The Economist writers have discovered in their research. Organized into categories including travel, food, politics and the environment, they range from Italy’s dislike for Nutella and why people prefer sloppily wrapped Christmas presents, to weightier topics such as steadily shortening lifespans in America, and how to predict a political coup.
