Description
Devil Take the Hindmost: A History of Financial Speculation
This lively and original history of stock market speculation spans five centuries, from ancient Rome to the modern world. Edward Chancellor explores the psychology of investing and the origins of the speculative spirit, tracing its revival in the modern world through notable episodes such as the tulip scandal of 1630s Holland and the infamous South Sea Bubble of 1720.
From the Gilded Age to the Roaring Twenties, and from junk bonds to the day-traders of the Information Era, Chancellor's narrative reveals a fascinating story of human dreams and folly through the ages.
