"Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds"
Book by Charles Mackay
Some in clandestine companies combine;
"Erect new stocks to trade beyond the line;
With air and empty names beguile the town,
And raise new credits first, then cry 'em down;
Divide the empty nothing into shares,
And set the crowd together by the ears."
Defoe
