    Description of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds / Confusions de Confusiones

    Exploring the sometimes hilarious, sometimes devastating impact of crowd behaviour and trading trickery on the financial markets, this book brilliantly combines two all-time investment classics. Extraordinary Popular Delusions and Confusion de Confusiones take us from Tulipomania in 1634 - when tulips actually traded at a higher price than gold - to the South Sea 'bubble' of 1720, and beyond. Securities analyst and author Martin Fridson guides you on a quirky, entertaining, and intriguing journey back through time.

    Reviews

    'A remarkable history of wealth, cupidity, chicanery and financial innovation in days gone by.'
    - Peter l. Bernstein, author of 'Capital Ideas'

    'In combining 'Extraordinary' with 'Confusion,' the result is not extraordinary confusion. Instead with clarity, the book sears into the modern investor's minds the dangers of following the crowd.'
    - Greg Heberlein, The Seattle Times
