Though the scope of the first edition was wide ranging--including alchemy, fortune-telling, haunted houses and other forms of philosophical delusion-the present editions reprints only those portions of the original work that pertain to economic bubbles. Present-day writers on economics, such as Michael Lewis and Andrew Tobias, laud Mackay's three chapters on the Tulipomania, the South Sea Bubble, and on the Mississippi Scheme.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Charles MacKay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1607960745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781607960744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e www.bnpublishing.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/20\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.97d","brand":"Charles MacKay","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984570908927,"sku":"9781607960744","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c151ebc3-4138-4eda-b70d-b16984a35743.jpg?v=1683273026","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/extraordinary-popular-delusions-and-the-charles-mackay-9781607960744","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
