520    Why we need to think more like economists to successfully 
       combat terrorism If we are to correctly assess the root 
       causes of terrorism and successfully address the threat, 
       we must think more like economists do. This is the 
       argument of Alan Krueger's What Makes a Terrorist, a book 
       that explains why our tactics in the fight against 
       terrorism must be based on more than anecdote, intuition, 
       and speculation. Many popular ideas about terrorists and 
       why they seek to harm us are fueled by falsehoods, 
       misinformation, and fearmongering. Many believe that 
       poverty and lack of education breed terrorism, despite the
       wealth of evidence showing that most terrorists come from 
       middle-class, and often college-educated, backgrounds. 
       Krueger closely examines the factors that motivate 
       individuals to participate in terrorism, drawing 
       inferences from terrorists' own backgrounds and the 
       economic, social, religious, and political environments in
       the societies from which they come. He describes which 
       countries are the most likely breeding grounds for 
       terrorists, and which ones are most likely to be their 
       targets. Krueger addresses the economic and psychological 
       consequences of terrorism and puts the threat squarely 
       into perspective, revealing how our nation's sizable 
       economy is diverse and resilient enough to withstand the 
       comparatively limited effects of most terrorist strikes. 
       He also calls on the media to be more responsible in 
       reporting on terrorism. Bringing needed clarity to one of 
       the greatest challenges of our generation, this 10th 
       anniversary edition of What Makes a Terrorist features a 
       new introduction by the author that discusses the lessons 
       learned in the past decade from the rise of ISIS and 
       events like the 2016 Pulse nightclub attack in Orlando, 
       Florida. Author bio: Alan B. Krueger is the Bendheim 
       Professor of Economics and Public Policy at Princeton 
       University, former chairman of President Barack Obama's 
       Council of Economic Advisers, and an adviser to the 
       National Counterterrorism Center. He is the coauthor of 
       Myth and Measurement: The New Economics of the Minimum 
       Wage (Princeton) and Inequality in America. He lives in 
       Princeton, New Jersey.
