È così che si possono definire queste pagine nelle quali Cipolla abbandona gli austeri panni dello studioso e, giocando sul filo del paradosso e dell'assurdo, costruisce due brevi saggi: il primo, una ilare parodia della storia economica e sociale del Medioevo; il secondo, una sorta di scherzosa teoria generale della stupidità umana.
