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.

評分类似于郁金香热的各种投资泡沫 根本原因在于,绝大部分人都知道事情不是那么靠谱,但是看到身边有人什么也不用做就大发横财,谁也抵挡不了不劳而获的诱惑:谁知道价格到底应该是多少,乘着这股热潮赚一把,我应该不是最后一个! 历史上各种世界末日 绝大部分人都易于轻信,缺...
