Sir Isaac Newton: Even A Genius Can Get Suckered: Text & Video Presentation

TedTed
in The Bullpen
FYI: From winter to spring 1720, London, England, was delirious, entranced, rolling in money.

It seemed as if riches were so easily gained that only fools would not buy into that brand new engine of wealth, the stock exchange, and especially into shares of the enterprise leading the boom, a banking concern called the South Sea Company.

As spring turned into summer, no one, it seemed, could deny the obvious, not even the most rational of men.
Regards,
Ted
