Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds

Next to the KJV Bible, probably the most valuable book I ever read. My favorite quote from a book full of wonderful apothegms:

“Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.” - Charles Mackay

What copy are you talking about. I bought the one linked but it reads like someone’s notes and is impossible to follow. Are you sure you read this book?
