Summary

The book chronicles and vilifies its targets in three parts: «National Delusions», «Peculiar Follies», and «Philosophical Delusions».

The subjects of Mackay's debunking include alchemy, beards (influence of politics and religion on), witch-hunts, crusades and duels. Present day writers on economics, such as Andrew Tobias, laud the three chapters on economic bubbles. (summary from wikipedia)
