Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds (Revised)
Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds (Revised) | Charles MacKay, C MacKay
1 post | 3 read | 7 to read
Whenever struck by campaigns, fads, cults and fashions, the reader may take some comfort that Charles Mackay can demonstrate historical parallels for almost every neurosis of our times. The South Sea Bubble, Witch Mania, Alchemy, the Crusades, Fortune-telling, Haunted Houses, and even 'Tulipomania' are only some of the subjects covered in this book, which is given a contemporary perspective through Professor Norman Stone's lively new Introduction.
