Beschreibung
Behind every bubble lies a story too convincing to question until it breaks.
Every era believes its boom is new—until it bursts. This book traces centuries of financial panic, from the Dutch tulip craze of the 1600s to modern housing and tech bubbles. Blending economic history with human psychology, it reveals how markets are driven less by numbers than by shared stories of confidence and doubt. "From Tulip Mania to Housing Bubbles" uncovers the repeating pattern behind every crash: optimism turns into speculation, speculation into mania, and panic into reform. Using archival records and contemporary accounts, it connects past episodes to modern financial behavior, showing that while instruments evolve, human nature rarely does. The result is a sweeping yet accessible chronicle of how societies create—and survive—their own illusions of wealth.
