The book is divided into three volumes: "National Delusions", "Peculiar Follies", and "Philosophical Delusions" . The book is an early study of crowd psychology and explores the phenomenon of mass hysteria and delusions. The first volume, "National Delusions", discusses three economic bubbles: the South Sea Company bubble of 1711-1720, the Mississippi Company bubble of 1719-1720, and the Dutch tulip mania of the early seventeenth century . Mackay provides colorful anecdotes to enliven his accounts, such as the Parisian hunchback who supposedly profited by renting out his hump as a writing desk during the height of the mania surrounding the Mississippi Company . The second volume, "Peculiar Follies", covers a wide range of topics, including alchemy, crusades, duels, fortune-telling, haunted houses, the Drummer of Tedworth, the influence of politics and religion on the shapes of beards and hair, magnetisers (influence of imagination in curing disease), murder through poisoning, prophecies, popular admiration of great thieves, popular follies of great cities, and relics . The third volume, "Philosophical Delusions", discusses the influence of philosophical ideas on society, including the influence of the philosopher John Law on the Mississippi Company bubble . Mackay's writing style is journalistic and somewhat sensational, but he is an accomplished storyteller . The book has been praised by present-day writers on economics, such as Michael Lewis and Andrew Tobias, for its three chapters on economic bubbles . In conclusion, Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds is a fascinating study of crowd psychology and the phenomenon of mass hysteria. It provides a historical perspective on the irrationality of human behavior and the dangers of groupthink. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of economics, psychology, and sociology. : More: Charles Mackay, Extraordinary Popular Delusions, Madness of Crowds National Delusions, Peculiar Follies, Philosophical Delusions crowd psychology, economic bubbles, history Richard Bentley, London, print South Sea Bubble, Mississippi Company bubble, Dutch tulip mania speculators, tulip bulbs, futures contracts Parisian hunchback, writing desk, Tulip bubble Peter Garber, Anne Goldgar, Mike Dash Railway Mania, economic bubble, Glasgow Argus 00:00:00 Volume One.
