Extraordinary Popular Delusions (Dover Value Editions) pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
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.
This classic survey of crowd psychology offers an illuminating and entertaining look at three grand-scale swindles. Originally published in England in 1841, its remarkable tales of human folly reveal that the hysteria of the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and the junk-bonds frenzy of the 1980s were far from uniquely twentieth-century phenomena.
The first of the financial scandals discussed, "The Mississippi Scheme," concerns a disastrous eighteenth-century plan for the commercial exploitation of the Mississippi valley, where investors were lured by Louisiana's repute as a region of gold and silver mountains. During the same era, thousands of English investors were ruined by "The South-Sea Bubble," a stock exchange based on British trade with the islands of the South Seas and South America. The third episode involves Holland's seventeenth-century "Tulipomania," when people went into debt collecting tulip bulbs — until a sudden depreciation in the bulbs' value rendered them worthless (except as flowers).
Fired by greed and fed by naiveté, these historic investment strategies gone awry retain an irrefutable relevance for modern times. Extraordinary Popular Delusions is essential and enthralling reading for investors as well as students of history, psychology, and human nature.

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...
评分因为拥有理性，所以我们是人类。古希腊哲学家普罗泰戈拉曾经说过：人是万物的尺度。这句话借着文艺复兴时期经典作家们的口，传遍整个世界。 然而，当智慧刚刚醒来时，愚蠢已吃完早餐。 现代社会赋予人类以极大的能量，这就为人类的愚蠢创造了一个更宏大的舞台。只有查尔斯...
评分你知道么，几百年前，英格兰股市就有南海泡沫的奔溃，因为盲目吹嘘未来在南美洲收益的童话？几百年之后美国也发生了航空业泡沫、IT泡沫？ 你知道么，几百年前，毫无理由荒诞的十字军东征持续了200年，死了几百万人？今天中东每天还在死人，因为什么？ 你知道么，占卜术、预言...
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...
