"Devil Take the Hindmost"

"This time is different!"

Edward Chancellor's "Devil Take the Hindmost" is an in-depth study of financial speculation and panics over the last 500 years. The book's 400-plus pages really drive home two messages:
  1. In the long run, greed is not good.
  2. This time may be different, but probably not in the ways we hope.
