About the Book: A Short History of Financial Euphoria* by John Kenneth Galbraith is a compelling analysis of the recurring patterns behind financial bubbles, market speculation, and economic crises. Drawing on famous episodes from history, including the Tulip Mania, John Law’s Mississippi Bubble, the South Sea Bubble, and the 1929 Wall Street Crash, Galbraith reveals why investors repeatedly fall into speculative frenzies despite past lessons. With sharp insights into human psychology, greed, and market behaviour, this classic work explains the forces driving boom-and-bust cycles. An essential read for anyone interested in finance, economics, investing, and financial history.
