À propos de cet audio

Devil Take the Hindmost is a lively, original, and challenging history of stock market speculation from the 17th century to the present day. Edward Chancellor traces the origins of the speculative spirit back to ancient Rome and chronicles its revival in the modern world: from the tulip scandal of 1630s Holland, to "stockjobbing" in London's Exchange Alley (where wine sold at auction by an "inch of a candle"), to the infamous South Sea Bubble of 1719, which prompted investor Sir Isaac Newton to comment, "I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people." Here are brokers underwriting risks that included highway robbery and the "assurance of female chastity;" credit notes and lottery tickets circulating as money; wise and unwise investors from Alexander Pope and Benjamin Disraeli to Ivan Boesky and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

William gives an excellent account of all known bubbles. He does this is a very fact based overview, with little opinion or sway. Also, I enjoyed the way he structured his book, made it very easy to focus and follow along.

Big book on Bubbles

damn thought i could stomach this. the sample seemed interesting (although hesitant about the narration) and i opted to spend a credit on this instead of other book options. wishing i would have skipped this one — narration is a drag.

a lot of back and forth in time and dates from 1987 to 1995 back to 1992 back to 1989 etc. , lots of names makes it hard to follow. no clear conclusion. was fun but not as much as expected.

complicated and hard To follow.
