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...

评分缺乏思辨能力的狂热群体，会为了一个口号，一次没有证实的期望或者缺乏逻辑的说服而奋不顾身，金融界已经无数次证明这一点。 99年黄子华说:“当师奶变成大佬，凶兆！”，巴菲特更有一句名言:“当别人恐惧的时候我贪婪，当别人贪婪的时候我恐惧”，说的无非都是一个简单的道理—...
评分这本书一直是我数目上的必读书，无奈之前只有选译本，没有全译本，最近出了全译本，我终于明白了为何它过去只有节译本 国内介绍这本书的时候，一般都作为金融经济类的参考书，说它详细地记录了1636年荷兰的“郁金香疯狂”、1720年英国的“南海泡沫”和1720年法国的“密西西比...
