Overview

""The Mississippi Bubble: A Memoir of John Law"" is a historical book written by Adolphe Thiers. It is a memoir of John Law, a Scottish economist who became the controller general of finances in France in the early 18th century. Law is known for his creation of the Mississippi Company, which was a scheme to develop the French colony of Louisiana and trade with it. The book describes the rise and fall of the Mississippi Company, which led to a financial crisis in France known as the ""Mississippi Bubble"". Thiers, a French historian and politician, provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the crisis, including Law's financial theories and the speculation that surrounded the Mississippi Company. The book also explores the social and political context of the time, including the reign of Louis XV and the French aristocracy. Overall, ""The Mississippi Bubble"" is a fascinating historical account of one of the most significant financial crises in European history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
