I’ve been reading “Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds” by

Charles Mackay. See if any of these sound familiar. This is from 1700s… South Seas Bubble and Mississippi Bubble.

The French account is insane. A worthy read.

The dates may change and the schemes may be different but the overall patterns remain consistent. Thanks for sharing and will definitely add this to my reading list.

History truly rhymes. Anyone who has read this will see clearly where things are heading. Shocking parallels with today.

Absolutely! The sad part is these lessons exist for all to see, but most don’t learn from them and thus keep repeating the same mistakes
