I am fascinated by behavioral economics.
Tulip Mania could make a good novel. But as far as I can find, nobody has written about it in that way yet. Seems like the timing is right.
If anybody here knows of such a book, please let me know.

"I am fascinated by behavioral economics."
The problem is as old as barter/trade/investing itself, as human nature and greed (plus 'herd-mentality')...will never change.
So many people think that
"lots of others are doing it, so it must be OK," is at the root of the issue - whether it is investing or even???????
