Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds Book Charles Mackay Paperback

Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds

A fascinating exploration of human behaviour, crowd psychology, and the strange patterns that repeat throughout history.

Some items on Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Some are here because they meant something to my dad. He was an actor, a scriptwriter, and someone who understood people, patterns, and the stories behind them. This is one of those pieces.

Written by Charles Mackay, this classic work looks at famous financial bubbles, social crazes, and moments where collective thinking goes dramatically wrong.

From speculation and mass hysteria to belief systems and public behaviour, it shows how easily crowds can be swept up in ideas.

Still incredibly relevant today, it is a compelling read for anyone interested in psychology, history, or how society behaves under pressure.
