Описание: Charles MacKay's groundbreaking examination of a staggering variety of popular delusions, crazes and mass follies is presented here in full with no abridgements. The text concentrates on a wide variety of phenomena which had occurred over the centuries prior to this book's publication in 1841. Mackay begins by examining economic bubbles, such as the infamous Tulipomania, wherein Dutch tulips rocketed in value amid claims they could be substituted for actual currency. As we progress further, the scope of the book broadens into several more exotic fields of mass self-deception. Mackay turns his attention to the witch hunts of the 17th and 18th centuries, the practice of alchemy, the phenomena of haunted houses, the vast and varied practices of fortune telling and the search for the philosopher's stone, to name but a handful of subjects. Today, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and The Madness of Crowds is distinguished as an expansive, well-researched and somewhat eccentric work of social history.

This collection of work by Scottish journalist Charles Mackay offers the very first glimpses into crowd psychology studies, by touching on subjects such as asset bubbles, haunted houses, crusades, as well as religion's influence on appearance. This spellbinding study, first published in 1841, is a powerful vignette of Victorian society and its follies and is worth a read, particularly for history lovers and economic enthusiasts.
Описание: This book could have been written yesterday...we live in similar precarious times when the valuation of stock market is disconnected from economic reality!
