Extraordinary popular delusions and the madness of crowds - Charles Mackay, LL.D.
With facsimile title pages & reproductions from the editions of 1741 and 1852
KORTE INHOUD
Charles Mackay's account of the three infamous financial manias - John Law's Mississippi Scheme - the South Sea Bubble - Tulipomania. These historic episodes confirm that greed & fear have always been the driving forces of financial markets, that being sensible & clever is no defense against the mesmeric allure of a popular craze. In writing the history of the great financial manias, Charles Mackay proved himself a master chronicler of social as well as financial history.
