Written by the author of the pirate romance Longbeard, Bernard Baruch thanked the author of this work for saving him from wasting millions of dollars. It recounts the conversation between the Count of St. German and Richard the Lion Hearted in one part. One section of this work tracks the birth of a chicken whose eggs were inscribed with the message "Christ is coming," while another section describes the sham Ripamonte, who predicted the Milanese plague. Its introduction claims that nations are like individuals in their whims, and another part of this work traces the O.P. mania in Covent Garden. It begins with a description of the Mississippi Scheme and the South Sea Bubble and describes "natural delusions" and "popular delusions" in its three parts. For 10 points, name this work about the dumbness of collective human action, written by Charles MacKay.
