Synopsis

Step into the thrilling world of speculation, greed, and financial collapse that has shaped human history for centuries. From the extravagant frenzy of 17th-century Dutch Tulip Mania to the digital age’s cryptocurrency booms, Boom and Bust uncovers the stories behind the world’s most spectacular market failures.

Through meticulous research and gripping narrative, this book explores the rise and fall of bubbles that have toppled fortunes, ruined empires, and reshaped economies. Discover how human psychology—fear, greed, and irrational exuberance—drives markets to dizzying highs before crashing down in spectacular fashion.

Boom and Bust takes you on a sweeping journey across centuries:

  • Witness the first recorded financial mania in the Netherlands, where flowers became more valuable than gold.
  • Explore the South Sea Bubble, the roaring excesses of the 1920s, the Dot-com explosion, and the 2008 Global Financial Crisis.
  • Analyze modern market shocks, from meme stocks to cryptocurrencies, and uncover the timeless patterns that repeat through history.

Whether you are an investor, a history enthusiast, or simply curious about the forces that shape our financial world, this book offers a rare lens into the cycles of human behavior, market mania, and the lessons we are yet to fully learn.

Prepare to be fascinated, shocked, and enlightened by the extraordinary stories of ambition, hubris, and collapse—because history shows us that financial manias are never a thing of the past; they are a mirror of human nature itself.
