Charles Mackay, L.L.D., was a Scottish journalist in the nineteenth century. He received an honorary law degree from Glasgow University and was a renowned poet and songwriter.
Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds is a history of popular folly by Charles Mackay. The book chronicles its targets in three parts: "National Delusions," "Peculiar Follies," and "Philosophical Delusions." Learn why intelligent people do amazingly stupid things when caught up in speculative edevorse. The subjects of Mackay's debunking include alchemy, beards (influence of politics and religion on), witch-hunts, crusades and duels. Present day writers on economics, such as Andrew Tobias, laud the three chapters on economic bubbles.

文/老錢 “破布衫巾破布裙,逢人慣說會燒銀。自傢何不燒些用?擔水河頭賣與人。” 話說這四句詩,本是當年風流纔子唐伯虎唐解元專為那些所謂的煉丹客而作。《古今奇觀》中有一則故事《誇妙術丹客提金》曰,有一位煉丹道人找到唐伯虎,說道,“解元仙風道骨,可以做得這件事”...
評分一本社會學和史學著作,不太適閤放在經濟學領域。 本來以為副標題“非同尋常的大眾幻想和群體狂歡”都是講類似於鬱金香泡麵一類的事情,沒想到是分開的。占蔔、煉金、催眠偏於大眾幻想,鬱金香泡沫、南海公司類似於群體狂歡,但是不論何種類型都透露著個人迷失於群體的錶現,個...
評分一直都有個睏惑:今天花明天的錢,明天的錢到底是從哪裏來?現在纔恍悟,這貌似時髦的消費方式,其實就是一個騙局。根本就沒有神馬明天的錢,明天尚未到來,明天的錢怎麼會提前到達呢?!隻是花瞭彆人今天的錢而已。要是以米國來說明這個問題,就再簡單不過瞭。米國人民最是倡...
評分缺乏思辨能力的狂熱群體,會為瞭一個口號,一次沒有證實的期望或者缺乏邏輯的說服而奮不顧身,金融界已經無數次證明這一點。 99年黃子華說:“當師奶變成大佬,凶兆!”,巴菲特更有一句名言:“當彆人恐懼的時候我貪婪,當彆人貪婪的時候我恐懼”,說的無非都是一個簡單的道理—...
評分其實講的內容也無非就是鬱金香風潮那一套,已經在百年間由各種各樣的人和事件演繹過瞭,有out of date的感覺,非專業人士可以一看,但是感覺收獲不大。
