The Mississippi Scheme Part 1 of 4
A chapter from the 1841 book "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" by Charles MacKay.
This story describes the financial bubble that engulfed all of France from 1719 to 1720. It's a great story that's usually kissed off with a paragraph in high school and college history texts.
