Devil Take the Hindmost: A History of Financial Speculation(ISBN=9780452281806) 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

　　Is your investment in that new Internet stock a sign of stock

market savvy or an act of peculiarly American speculative folly?

How has the psychology of investing changed--and not changed--over

the last five hundred years? Edward Chancellor examines the nature

of speculation--from medieval Europe to the Tulip mania of the

1630s to today's Internet stock craze. A contributing writer to

The Financial Times and The Economist, Chancellor

looks at both the psychological and economic forces that drive

people to "bet" their money in markets; how markets are made,

unmade, and manipulated; and who wins when speculation runs

rampant. Drawing colorfully on the words of such speculators as Sir

Isaac Newton, Daniel Defoe, Ivan Boesky, and Hillary Rodham

Clinton, Devil Take the Hindmost is part history, part

social science, and purely illuminating: an erudite and hugely

entertaining book that is more timely today than ever before.
