The Book Does Not Exist

The Book Does Not Exist

Nova: After conducting extensive research across multiple databases, I need to be transparent with you: there is no book titled "The Economics of Pornography" by Lorenzo Di Tommaso.

Nova: Here's what my research uncovered:

Lorenzo DiTommaso's Expertise

Lorenzo DiTommaso's Expertise

Nova: Lorenzo DiTommaso is a Professor of Religions and Cultures at Concordia University in Montreal. He has authored or edited over a dozen volumes and 200+ articles -- but his expertise is in apocalypticism, ancient religious literature, and the Dead Sea Scrolls, not economics or pornography.

Possible Confusion

Possible Confusion

Nova: It appears there may be a confusion with Maria Laura Di Tommaso, an economist at the University of Turin, who co-authored:

Nova: "Sex Markets: A Denied Industry" -- with Marina Della Giusta and Steinar Strom. This is an empirically rigorous economic study of prostitution markets, not pornography specifically.

Closest Existing Work

Nova: Would you like me to create a podcast script about one of these instead? I could cover:

Nova: 1. "Sex Markets: A Denied Industry" by Maria Laura Di Tommaso et al. -- the economics of prostitution 2. The economics of pornography more broadly -- drawing on Samuel Cameron's chapter, industry data, and related research 3. "Economics Uncut" -- the broader book that contains the pornography chapter

Nova: Just let me know which direction you'd prefer!
