028 - Chapter 4 Haunted Houses Part 3

Charles MacKays insightful work reminds us that Men think in herds; they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one. This classic analysis of human behavior dives deep into the history of nations, revealing how communities can become fixated on singular delusions. From the Crusades to the Witch Mania, MacKay explores eight captivating topics, shedding light on the nature of crowd psychology and its relevance today. His observations about economic bubbles, such as the dot com surge of the late 90s, continue to resonate in our increasingly populated world. Join us as we uncover the peculiar follies and national delusions that have shaped human behavior throughout history.
