MP3 Audio CD. The first volume of Charles Mackay?s Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds proposes a very interesting theory: nations, just like individuals, are in the constant pursuit of delusions and just like individuals, nations also regularly go through different states of mind such as recklessness or excitement. One phase is not over until a considerable amount of blood is shed ? it is only after devastating wars or times of economic crisis and poverty that nations come temporarily to their senses. The first volume of Mackay?s two-volume work discusses economic bubbles, alchemy and several phenomena as manifestations of collective mania. He dedicates several pages to the Dutch tulip mania at the beginning of the 18th century and the resulting economic bubble that led to some tulip varieties becoming the most expensive plants in the world at the time. Mackay also discusses alchemy, the allegedly scientific efforts to transform base metals into gold and the aspects… Read More

Some in clandestine companies combine; Erect new stocks to trade beyond the line; With air and empty names beguile the town, And raise new credits first, then cry ’em down; Divide the empty nothing into shares, And set the crowd together by the ears.—Defoe. The personal character and career of one man are so intimately connected with the great scheme of the years 1719 and 1720, that a history of the Mississippi madness can have no fitter introduction than a sketch of the life of its great author John Law. Historians are divided in opinion as to whether they should designate him a knave or a madman. Both epithets were unsparingly applied to him in his lifetime, and while the unhappy consequences of his projects were still deeply felt. Posterity, however, has found reason to doubt the justice of the accusation, and to confess that John Law was neither… Read More
