The South Sea Bubble was a financial bubble that occurred on the London stock
market in 1720. In the traditional story, the Bubble was caused by a mysterious
gambling mania. The directors of the South Sea Company were also apparently
fraudsters. Modem economic history research has found these explanations to be
inadequate. This book aims to explain how a bubble can occur without assuming
that everyone had lost their wits.
The book shows that the South Sea Company’s prospects were bright enough
to encourage investment. The company shipped African slaves to Spain’s Ameri-
can colonies. It was hoped that the company might eventually gain its own
colony there. There were other rational reasons to invest in the company’s
shares, due to features of the financial and legal system of the period. Behav-
ioural finance theories can also help to explain how and why Georgians invested
as they did. Some obviously lost money when the Bubble burst and society con-
demned their apparent folly. However, the economic consequences of the Bubble
have been exaggerated for effect. Contemporaries used the episode to discuss
their fears about foreigners, Catholics, Jews, women and the nouveau riche.
The book is an economic history of the Bubble. It combines economic theory
and quantitative analysis with historical evidence in order to provide a rounded
account. It brings together scholarship from a variety of different fields to update
the existing historical work on the Bubble. Up until now, economic history
research has not been integrated into mainstream histories of 1720. Technical
work on share prices and ledgers has been inaccessible to a wider audience. As
well as providing new evidence against the gambling mania argument, the book
also interprets the existing economic history scholarship for non-specialists.
