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.

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...
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...
