"The market never ceases to befuddle and beguile. These two venerable works are fixtures on the short lists for most valuable books on the securities markets, and investors continue to cherish them." -From the Introduction by Martin S. Fridson Managing Director, Merrill Lynch & Co. Author of Investment Illusions
Exploring the sometimes hilarious, sometimes devastating impact of crowd behavior and trading trickery on the financial markets, this book brilliantly combines two all-time investment classics. Extraordinary Popular Delusions and Confusión de Confusiones take us from Tulipmania in 1634-when tulips actually traded at a higher price than gold-to the South Sea "bubble" of 1720, and beyond. Securities analyst and author Martin Fridson guides you on a quirky, entertaining, and intriguing journey back through time.
Chosen by the Financial Times as Two of the Ten Best Books Ever Written on Investment
Critical Praise . . .
"This is the most important book ever written about crowd psychology and, by extension, about financial markets. A serious student of the markets and even anyone interested in the extremes of human behavior should read this book!" -Ron Insana, CNBC
"In combining 'Extraordinary' with 'Confusion,' the result is not extraordinary confusion. Instead, with clarity, the book sears into modern investor minds the dangers of following the crowd." -Greg Heberlein, The Seattle Times
"You will see between its staid lines (written in ye olde English and as ponderable as Buddha's navel) that, despite what the media says, nothing really important has changed in the financial markets in centuries." -Kenneth L. Fisher, Forbes
The publisher, John Wiley & Sons
A unique and witty book consisting of selections from Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds and Confusion de Confusions. The combination of these two classics results in an accessible and fascinating assessment of crowd behavior, market movement and investment psychology.

评分人不是没有思想的芦苇,可是当人没有独立的思想时是什么样的?那就是两个字“悲剧”。是的,我们人类在历史上有许多的时候就在没有独立思想时发生了灾难。在二战前大多数人们没有独立的思想,便酿成了世界性的金融危机。在德国全民陷入没有独立思想时便成了法西斯主义盛行危害...

评分一直都有个困惑:今天花明天的钱,明天的钱到底是从哪里来?现在才恍悟,这貌似时髦的消费方式,其实就是一个骗局。根本就没有神马明天的钱,明天尚未到来,明天的钱怎么会提前到达呢?!只是花了别人今天的钱而已。要是以米国来说明这个问题,就再简单不过了。米国人民最是倡...
评分书的内容挺好,就是和书的名字不太搭调,要是在不知道内容的情况下看到如此弱智的书名我可不一定会买。事先在图书馆看过内容,觉得挺有价值的。至少可以了解欧洲的黑历史。疯狂的投机倒把啦,荒唐的哄抬郁金香啦,残忍的所谓女巫迫害,最莫名其妙的十字军东征啦——尤其是十字...
