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.
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.
一本社会学和史学著作,不太适合放在经济学领域。 本来以为副标题“非同寻常的大众幻想和群体狂欢”都是讲类似于郁金香泡面一类的事情,没想到是分开的。占卜、炼金、催眠偏于大众幻想,郁金香泡沫、南海公司类似于群体狂欢,但是不论何种类型都透露着个人迷失于群体的表现,个...
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...
评分不足300的时间,在一个又一个疯狂的事件面前,除了看清人性的本质,其它的一切似乎多余。在我们经常接受的教化中,理性、公平、善良一直是核心价值观。看过这本书后,不禁在反思,人性纠究是善还是恶?其实,一切的背后还是知识与人性。缺少常识的大众一定的愚昧的,在利益的诱...
评分群众疯狂乃人性的本质 书中介绍了三个故事:密西西比计划、南海泡沫、郁金香狂潮,最后一张罗列零碎的历史片段,讲述人类在恐惧之下如何作出不理智的判断。 令人难以置信的是,前两个大众狂热故事的背后,竟然隐含着国家级的财政计划。当然,这种人为制造狂热企图化解经济危机...
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...
