The Mississippi Bubble: A Memoir Of John Law is a book written by Adolphe Thiers that tells the story of John Law, a Scottish economist and financier who became famous for his role in the financial bubble that occurred in France in the early 18th century. The book details Law's rise to power and his creation of the Mississippi Company, which was designed to help France regain its economic strength. However, Law's ambitious plans ultimately led to the collapse of the company and the financial ruin of many investors. Thiers, a French historian and politician, provides a detailed account of Law's life and the events that led to the Mississippi Bubble, including the political and economic climate of the time. The book offers insights into the workings of the financial markets and the dangers of unchecked speculation, making it a valuable read for anyone interested in the history of finance and economics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
