In this analytical study, economist Alan B. Krueger investigates the socioeconomic origins of political violence by examining empirical data regarding the backgrounds of terrorists. This tenth-anniversary edition includes a new prologue that contextualizes the original findings, which were derived from the author's 2006 Lionel Robbins memorial lectures at the London School of Economics.
