Recommendation
From Holland’s tulips in the 1630s to the global financial crisis of 2008, speculative investments that have gone bust share several features, identified by the late economist John Kenneth Galbraith in his 1990 book, A Short History of Financial Euphoria. The IMF’s Andreas Adriano pairs Galbraith’s wise pronouncements with the modern-day enthusiasm over cryptocurrencies. Through Galbraith, Adriano draws some thought-provoking parallels with previous bubbles. While never giving investment advice, getAbstract nonetheless recommends this engaging essay to fans of bitcoin and other virtual money.
