[USER=7416]@Captain_Chaza[/USER], thanks for the free eBook. It will be the next book I read.


The synopsis 

“Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds” by Charles Mackay is an early study of crowd psychology. The book is a comprehensive exploration of various forms of societal delusions and aberrations in human behaviour and mass hysteria.


The book is divided into three volumes

1. National Delusions: This volume covers mass movements and crazes in nations, such as economic bubbles like the South Sea Bubble and the Tulip Mania.


2. Peculiar Follies: This volume explores unique and bizarre trends and fads.


3. Philosophical Delusions: This volume delves into erroneous and misleading beliefs in the field of philosophy.
