Have you read the book "Extraordinary Popular Delusions And The Madness Of Crowds"? It's from 1849, reads like a modern author, and goes over the 7 financial bubbles that had already happened by 1849. For example, the King of Scotland got suckered into the Darien (Nicaragua) bubble, and that's why Scotland is England's bitch. And, it explains all about the Tulip Bubble.
It's a great book for an investor, and very relevant right now.
The original was 700 pages and went over all kinds of nonsense like witch hunts, the Crusades (there were 8 of them!), alchemy etc. There are maybe 100-page versions that only do the financial bubbles.

Is that the original title of Manias, Panics, and Crashes?
No, that's another modern book from 1978.
