Balen, Malcolm The Secret History of the South Sea Bubble: The World's First Great Financial Scandal
Fourth Estate 2003 0007161778 / 9780007161775 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new copy. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $24.95. NO writing, marks or tears. Tight spine, clean pages. Illustrated. 246 pages. Synopsis In the early 18th century, the South Sea Company was incorporated with the purpose of exploiting the wealth of Louisiana and the Caribbean. Investors flocked to the company with the encouragement of English politicians. Unfortunately for the investors, the company never owned a single trip or financed a single journey and the whole scheme eventually imploded. Journalist Balen narrates the story of the company, paying particular attention to the motivations of the various company officers and implicated government officials, which are often remarkably similar to those driving the Enron, Worldcom, and other current financial scandals.
