Sendhil Mullainathan, the `most interesting young economist in the world`, & Eldar Shafir, the `most brilliant psychologist` of his generation, explain the hidden problem behind everything with Scarcity. Why can we never seem to keep on top of our workload, social diary or chores? Why does poverty persist around the world? Why do successful people do things at the last minute in a sudden rush of energy? Here, economist Sendhil Mullainathan & psychologist Eldar Shafir reveal that the hidden side behind all these problems is that they`re all about scarcity.

Man is a delicate mechanism...he can easily be set off course. It is the late 18th century & a young Sicilian nobleman, Vitellio Scarpia, finds himself penniless & in disgrace on the streets of Rome. After leaving his home to pursue a military career, his impulsive & undisciplined nature has led to his expulsion from Spanish royal guard, & he must now seek his fortune in Italy; a fortune inseparably bound up with the ruler of the Eternal City, the Pope. Scarpia enrols in the Papal army & becomes the lover of an alluring countess who introduces him into Roman society with its blend of religiosity, sophistication & intrigue. Half-enthralled, half-appalled, Scarpia enjoys the life of the decadent city, learning in due course that as an unsophisticated provincial he is no match for the worldliness of Rome. Patronized by a powerful Cardinal, Scarpia is sent on a mission to Venice, where he encounters the beautiful, exquisitely gifted singer, Floria Tosca. As the armies of revolutionary France invade Italy, & war & revolution engulf the whole peninsula, the lives of the two become fatefully entwined. Piers Paul Read brilliantly reimagines the infamous villain of Puccini`s opera, Tosca, telling a story that shines a light into the dusty corridors of history & the dark corners of the human soul. ...
