I guess Mackay had reason to believe that the railway bubble wasn't a bubble because something tangiable was built and the whole thing wasn't just about something superfluous as tulips. In that sense he probably was even mislead by his own ideas about Tulipmania and what he thought about he knew about bubbles. Unless he was just misleading people for his own personal gain of course.

[@ayde92829]

Several questions If I can (open to anyone): 1.) The neatherlands to this day remains the largest exporter of flowers in the world (their tulip market still remains substantial). 2.) Calvanism and protestantism in general had divergent views of usury mandates which lead to converts, but also towards a bit of an economic renaissance for those cultures and peoples who adopted it, no? In essence, Catholicism to this day venerates poverty and considers the accumulation of wealth as inherently evil. The economic history of europe is influenced by the treatment of Usury laws and norms (the relaxation of which coupled with the mass redistribution of wealth after one of the great plagues eventually lead to the renaissance for instance). Meanwhile, the entire history of Spain consolidating wealth was in a cycle of allowing relaxed usury laws for those who did not practice catholicism until these groups gained an economic foothold, and then they would persecute and expell those people and amass their economic holdings monopolizing on the investments of those peoples. Calvanism itself, as a protestant variation's main draw was its' justification that "work is good" and far from god loving you more when you're impoverished: calvanists believed that being sucessful and rich was proof that god favored you. It was the theological beginnings of "greed is good". I suppose what I'm setting up is: how did the book approach the criticisms of the tulip bubble as propoghanda?

[@keylanoslokj1806]

Absolutely correct. Protestantism single handedly built the American west sphere of economies and influence

Atmospheric railways don't travel in a tube, except for a demonstration line in New York, the Beech Pneumatic Transit system in 1869. They have a tube between the tracks along which a piston runs, connected to the train above through a sealed slot. In the early days of steam engines they weren't a bad idea because the large stationary engines used could be more efficient and more reliable, but locomotive designed soon overtook them. The Dalkey Railway in Ireland ran for ten years and was, I think, the most successful.

Not true, we're talking magnitudes. If something increases tenfold it's 10x (10 -> 100), if something decreases tenfold it's one-tenth (10 -> 1), and he might not mean it in the literal sense. Tenfold usually just describes a dramatic increase or decrease in either direction.

The railway boom is a good example why expensive infrastructure projects shouldn't be financed by private investors. Mackay predicted right, that railway systems will change the economy of the country completly, but he was totally wrong with the timeline. It's very expensive to built so much and big new infrastructure, and it takes a lot of time, it needs even more time to built all the factorys, which can use the increase in freight volume. But you can't expect an immediate return of your investments in railroads, because you can only charge your custumomers with prizes they can afford, not with prizes you need to make an instant profit. The Channel Tunnel is another example, although it is a big succeess for the economy of the countries on both sides, it wasn't a success for the private share holders which fund the tunnel, they nearly lost all their money.

[@elmarwolters2751]

[@torokun]

Hey the video is back! Thank you for starting with debunking some of the false stories about the Tulipmania (although I am not sure what being a Calvinist has to do with it). Many do attribute the Tulipmania as the source of the fall of Dutch power and influence. If not, what was the cause of the fall? I mean… they were the inventor of the modern version of stock market and how we trade and bank?

[@thefinalsif]

The man being a Calvinist is important because calvinists believe that (with the exceptions of the people they pick as special), humans are fundamentally sinful and irrational at birth and need to be controlled by the special people that "god" picked. So they tend to focus on trying to convince the world that people as a whole are irrational animals and unable to control themselves. So, he has an obvious bias in telling the story of Tulipmania in a way that convinces the reader people are irrational. The fall of the Dutch Empire was mostly due to the British to my understanding. There was a lot of things that happened, but mostly the British. Tulipmania had little to nothing to do with it.

[@torokun]

@@thefinalsif You are mixing few issues but I will play along. Sinful nature of men is not just calvinist’s belief but part of orthodox Christian theology. “Irrational at birth” Not sure where you pull this one from so I will pass but it has no relation to Calvinist’s core belief. “Need to be controlled by the special people that “god” picked” this too has no relation to Calvinists’ core belief. Even if you want to draw some line about role of government that post millennialis’ (and now popular Amillennialists) hold, it speaks of more influence than “control.” If you want to attribute something unique to the Dutch calvinists and somehow, they had their own view that is unique to them, that probably has more to their culture than calvinism. I was asking honest question about if there is something to it that I don’t know. But it sounds like a statement that can’t be substantiated. Fall of Dutch empire is often tied to Tulipmania and that is why I was asking and I do believe it happened long before the British established their global power. Right?

Some bubbles really are seen by quite large numbers of people, the NFT stupidity for example, but history and academia rarely remembers ordinary people speaking plain truths without drama. And even then, it isn't as if those same people will predict all the bubbles but usually the one they know and understand something about the fundamentals of.

Perhaps the previous civilisation also had the Internet and someone like Patrick was also sharing with then them what could be good to do, but then they also also get wiped out.

Hi Patrick, are you aware of the aroid craze that happened because of the pandemic? Variegated plants are still a craze right now and is definitely still a thing. They’re beautiful and still subject to the whims of what’s popular or not. But Unlike NFTs, if the prices drop one can multiply them and sell for a lower price (provided you didn’t overpay) or just keep them because they’re beautiful. It’s been surreal seeing plants sell for 12k for a whole plant one day, then drop to 900 and then 500, and then it’s variegated version pops up and sells for 10-30k to this day (Philodendron spiritus sancti)
