South Sea Bubble. If you are inventing financial derivatives to line your own pockets and enable your nation's endless military spending, it helps to bribe parliament. The author writes documentaries, with little scenes and character introductions and narrated voiceovers pulling us through the history. But I really expected more comparative analysis, and when given the chance (offering brief comparison to France's similarities in that period, and 2008) fails to connect.
