非同寻常的大众幻想与群众性癫狂

Hacker News 上怎么说

  ……比经过细致研究的事实和分析更容易撰写和发表，而且 (b) 观点读起来也更轻松、更抓人眼球。但实际上，情况正在好转。另一本非常提振士气的书是《Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds》。当你读到过去的迷信和狂热有多么普遍和疯狂时，你就会觉得自己生活在现在有多幸运——如今的非理性系数要低得多了。

  …easier to write and publish than carefully researched facts and analysis, and (b) opinion is also easier and more titillating to read. But really, things are improving. Another great morale-lifter was Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. When you read how common and insane were the myths and fads of previous times, you think how lucky you are to be alive now, when the irrationality quotient is so much lower.

  ……正在发生。我强烈建议带着批判性思维读读 Doug Noland 的《Credit Bubble Bulletin》、Paul Krugman 的博客，以及至少一本大学水平的《Money and Banking》教材。此外，Charles Mackay 的经典之作《Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds》也值得一读。许多人对金钱有情绪化的反应。这种情绪反应在一定程度上使得某些东西变得“像钱”，但如果想要搞懂到底是怎么回事，就必须……

  …happening. I would strongly recommend a critical reading of Doug Noland's Credit Bubble Bulletin, Paul Krugman's blog and at least a university level text on Money and Banking. Also Charles Mackay's classic Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds also merits a look. Many people have an emotional reaction to money. This emotional reaction is part of what can make something "money-like" but if one wishes to understand what's going on, one needs…

  你依赖的只是某一个人对郁金香泡沫“事实”的总结。其他资料对郁金香抢购狂潮有极其详尽的描述。比如去读读 Charles Mackay 的《Extraordinary Popular Delusions and The Madness of Crowds》里关于郁金香的那一章。它引用了大量史料，详细记述了当年人们买郁金香时实际支付的离谱高价。

  You're relying on one person's summary of the tulip bubble 'facts'. Other sources give great detail of the tulip purchasing craze. For example, read the tulip chapter in 'Extraordinary Popular Delusions and The Madness of Crowds', by Charles Mackay. It cites many sources that detail the crazy high prices people did actually pay for tulips.

  ……关于炼金术和其他狂想的内容，其实现在看来依然非常有趣。我很推荐。它最早出版于 1841 年，里面既有关于金融泡沫的章节，也有关于炼金术的内容。[1] Extraordinary Popular Delusions and The Madness of Crowds https://www.amazon.co.uk/Extraordinary-Popular-Delusions-Mad...

  …about alchemy and other delusions which is actually still really interesting. I'd recommend it. It was originally published in 1841. It includes chapters on financial bubbles as well as alchemy.

  那些不读 Charles Mackay 的《Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds》的人，注定要重蹈覆辙。

  Those who do not read "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" by Charles Mackay are doomed to repeat it.

  读过 Charles Mackay 的《Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds (1841)》之后，我就立了一条规矩：避开任何看着像狂热、行事像狂热、说起话来也像狂热的金融领域。这本书是我在罗得岛州一家露天商业街书店里随手翻到的。在 dotcom 崩盘前读到它帮我省下了 30 多万美元，因为我把所有资产都卖掉清仓了（我的离场时机……

  It's a rule of mine to avoid any financial area that looks, acts, and talks like a mania after reading Charles Mackay's "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds (1841)," which I discovered at random in a strip mall bookstore in Rhode Island. Reading it saved me over $300,000 dollars before the dotcom crash because I sold everything and got out (my timing was…
