The Bubble - Jonathan Swift - A poem about the financial bubble - London 1690s - An extract.
" While some build Castles in the Air
Directors build 'em in the Seas
Subscribers plainly see 'um there
For Fools will see as Wise men please. " .
This extract is quoted in the book " Devil Take The Hindmost: A History Of Financial Speculation" by Edward Chancellor.
I was recommended this book by a fund manager that I asked about Bitcoin and crypto-currencies. I would advise everyone interested in speculating to take a long look at this book.
Good luck
