Description

A Short History of Financial Euphoria by John Kenneth Galbraith

This insightful analysis explores the major speculative episodes in the economy over the last three centuries, from the tulip craze of the 17th century to the recent junk bond phenomenon.

Galbraith reveals how normally sane individuals can display reckless behavior in pursuit of profit, and how our short financial memory can create conditions for market collapse. By understanding these patterns, we can better guard against future recessions and take control of our financial destiny.
