There’s been many bubbles throughout modern human history. The Tulip Mania of the 17th century, the South Sea Bubble, the Railway Mania bubble, the dot-com bubble, the list goes on. Bubbles are so prevalent throughout history because they reflect the juxtaposition of innate human emotions – confidence and doubt, fear and greed, euphoria and panic. However, the prickly thing about bubbles is that while they are glaringly obvious in hindsight, they are notoriously difficult to spot in the present. |
