Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds (Illustrated‪)‬

"Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" is an early study of crowd psychology by Scottish journalist Charles Mackay.  A hugely entertaining tour through financial scams and stock market bubbles, alchemical quests and prophecy wars, dueling bouts and relic hunts, the book is as insightful and memorable today as when it was first published.


A must read for any intelligent investor.
