Publisher's Summary
"The market never ceases to befuddle and beguile. These two venerable works are fixtures on the short lists for most valuable books on the securities markets, and investors continue to cherishthem." (From the introduction by Martin S. Fridson managing director, Merrill Lynch & Co. author of Investment Illusions)
Exploring the sometimes hilarious, sometimes devastating impact of crowd behavior and trading trickery on the financial markets, this book brilliantly combines two all-time investment classics. Extraordinary Popular Delusions and Confusión de Confusiones take us from Tulipmania in 1634-when tulips actually traded at a higher price than gold - to the South Sea "bubble" of 1720, and beyond. Securities analyst and author Martin Fridson guides you on a quirky, entertaining, and intriguing journey back through time.
Chosen by the Financial Times as Two of the Ten Best Books Ever Written on Investment

Excellent Read
Very detailed. I found it amazing that back in the 1700's they already have Options contracts, Put's and Calls; THe history of how the words came to be, both in French and English, that investors use today.
The frenzied, and irrational exuberance of markets along the manipulations are exactly the same; as much as the future of market drops.
I found the book extremely enlightening, in particular the "Confusion de Confusiones" section.

close to the originals
the story is hard to follow, the language and narration is formal (I guess in an attempt to keep to.the original format) but it makes the content very hard to digest and bring together.
As a meta audio book, I would have appreciated and expected some hand-holding and synthesis between the different books and even between the chapters.
