Money for Nothing: The Scientists, Fraudsters, and Corrupt Politicians Who Reinvented Money, Panicked a Nation, and Made the World Rich
The South Sea Bubble is a gripping tale of financial intrigue that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
This book takes you back in time to 1719, when Britain was facing a mountain of debt after years of war.
Enter the upstart leaders of the South Sea Company, who proposed a bold plan to swap citizens' shares of the nation's debt for company stock, promising a fortune for all involved.
But as the bubble grew and grew, it burst in a rush of scandal, jail, suicide, and ruin.
Yet thanks to Britain's leader, Robert Walpole, the kingdom found its way through to emerge with the first truly modern, reliable, and stable financial exchange.
This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of finance, economics, or simply an exciting story of human folly and resilience.
Don't miss out on this unbelievable tale that will leave you both amazed and cautionary about the power of financial markets.
