Praise for Devil Take the Hindmost

Many books have referred to it. One of the finest is Devil Take the Hindmost."--Debashis Basu, Money LifeA lively chronicle of the history of financial speculation follows the roller coaster fortunes of the market from the Roaring Twenties, through its revival in the 1970s and subsequent Bull and Bear fluctuations in the 1980s and 1990s.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A lively, original, and challenging history of stock market speculation from the 17th century to present day.Is your investment in that new Internet stock a sign of stock market savvy or an act of peculiarly American speculative folly How has the psychology of investing changed and not changed over the last five hundred years In Devil Take the Hindmost, Edward Chancellortraces the origins of the speculative spirit back to ancient Rome and chronicles its revival in the modern world: from the tulip scandal of 1630s Holland, to stockjobbing in London's Exchange Alley, to the infamous South Sea Bubble of 1720, which prompted Sir Isaac Newton to comment, I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people. Here are brokers underwriting risks that included highway robbery and the assurance of female chastity ; credit notes and lottery tickets circulating as money; wise and unwise investors from Alexander Pope and Benjamin Disraeli to Ivan Boesky and Hillary Rodham Clinton.From the Gilded Age to the Roaring Twenties, from the nineteenth century railway mania to the crash of 1929, from junk bonds and the Japanese bubble economy to the day-traders of the Information Era, Devil Take the Hindmost tells a fascinating story of human dreams and folly through the ages.
