Not a web site, but a book. I've not read it
yet, but it is reported to contain accounts
of the tulip mania and the South Sea
Trading company mania plus several
more.
Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds : And Confusion De
Confusiones (Wiley Investment Classics)
by Charles MacKay --- $11.20 plus shipping at Amazon.
Book Description
A complete repackaging of the classic work about grand-scale madness, major
schemes, and bamboozlement--and the universal human susceptibility to all
three. This informative, funny collection encompasses a broad range of
manias and deceptions, from witch burnings to the Great Crusades to the
prophecies of Nostradamus.
