This classic book explores the manias, fads, and collective delusions that have affected society throughout history. From the South Sea Bubble to Witch Mania, Alchemy, the Crusades, Fortune-telling, Haunted Houses, and even 'Tulipomania,' Charles Mackay examines how crowds can be led by irrational beliefs and absurd behaviors. With an introduction by Norman Stone, this book offers a historical perspective on social psychology and psychopathology, showing that the follies of mankind are not unique to the modern world.
