More than a century before Alan Greenspan coined the phrase 'irrational exuberance' to describe the speculative bubble inflating technology stocks, Charles Mackay was recording the history of 'tulipomania', a speculative madness surrounding the value of tulips in the 18th century that was the ruin of many Dutch and English investors. This is only one of the 'extraordinary popular delusions' documented by Mackay in a fascinating study of group psychology. He also describes notorious witch hunts, haunted houses, the Crusades, beliefs in fortune tellers and in the magical power of alchemy, veneration of relics, bogus health cures and health scares, and many other examples of human credulity and flights from reason. This work is a true classic in the study of paranormal beliefs, a funny, shocking, and unbelievable yet true history of human gullibility.
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.

评分我们说要理性,实际上是像表达这样一个意思:要做得合理。比如说两个东北人,他看了他一眼,他说,你瞅啥,他说,瞅你咋地,然后两个人找地方唠唠,搞不好,或者就进医院,或者就吃牢饭。非大砍省的人可能会觉得太不理性了,他们觉得这“后果”就因一个眼神引起,不值得。但是...
