  Actually even the given article is not really-really the "original" (the illustrations by Donnelly were added for the publication in Whole Earth Review (Spring 1987), and the article misses a few paragraphs, the small preface by "Mad Millers" and the tiny, but useful "Appendix") the actual book, "The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity", written in the early '70's was originally published in 1976 in a very limited number of copies (for friends and colleagues only) and it was only published (in Italian as "Allegro ma non troppo" in 1988) and the original English one in 2011 (the Author M.Cipola died in 2000). The 2011 "original" version is on archive.org: https://archive.org/details/The_Basic_Laws_of_Human_Stupidity_by_Carlo_M._Cipolla https://archive.org/details/The_Basic_Laws_of_Human_Stupidit...
