Reviews
"Edward Chancellor has combined his considerable talents as historian and banker to produce a riveting account of financial bubbles, followed by busts, in Britain, the United States, and Japan . . . Here is a lagniappe for the banker, broker, investor, and idle Wall Street onlooker."--Charles P. Kindleberger, author of Manias, Panics, and Crashes

Synopsis
A lively and authoritative look at speculation from early modern times to the present. Focusing on speculation as it developed in the world's leading stock markets, Edward Chancellor's story starts with the tulipomania in seventeenth-century Holland, then moves to Britain with accounts of speculative manias such as the South Sea Bubble and the Railway Mania. From the mid-nineteenth century, the narrative turns to the United States, with chapters on the Gilded Age, the Roaring Twenties, and the revival of speculation since the early 1970s, then portrays the disastrous Bubble Economy of Japan in the 1980s. Chancellor shows that the impulses that have shaped speculative behavior are at odds with the orthodox theory of efficient markets. His comprehensive history is interspersed with trenchant commentary on speculation in the 1990s, including such current issues as emerging markets, Internet and foreign-currency speculation, rogue traders, the great U.S. bull market, and our current financial predicament.
