Defenestrategy
Oct 24, 2010

I just popped in here to say, during my internship at a futures trader about a year ago the chapters on the Mississippi scheme, the South Seas Bubble, and Tulipmania where required reading for the interns on top of studying for the series 3 license.


While reading it I noticed a running theme of "A guy has a good idea to make a bunch of money, and then everyone starts abusing the hell out of it. The government tries to co-opt it, and bad poo poo happens until a recession finally forces the government to start regulating it and tossing people in jail" that jive with anyone else?
