Zusammenfassung: | This book tells two parallel stories: one of the spectacular rise and fall of the world's first bubble economy, and another of the enterprising art industry that chronicled its collapse. The Mississippi and South Sea Bubbles, spawning the invention of French banknotes as well as joint-stock companies built on fantasies of New World trade, imposed on everyday Europeans a crash course in new financial products. In turn, a bubbling print market relentlessly caricatured the meltdown of 1720, offering viewers an entertaining primer on the otherwise bewildering realities of modern economic life. Such satirical works - most notably a Dutch compendium titled 'The Great Mirror of Folly' ('Het groote tafereel der dwaasheid') - helped to demystify the disaster by deploying familiar theatrical characters and tragic-comic motifs. Likening the speculative mania to an infectious disease, and spoofing the "herd behavior" of a money-crazed public, its prints portrayed malevolent traders, hoodwinked investors, and a chorus of heroes and villains both real and legendary, from the rakish financier John Law to the foolish Harlequin to the goddess Fortuna. Three hundred years later, our current moment offers a uniquely fitting vantage point from which to reconsider the significance of the bubbles and of the artworks that channeled the fears and desires they unleashed--4e de couv |

Viljoen London ; Turnhout Harvey Miller Publishers [2020] 157 Seiten Illustrationen 25 cm txt rdacontent sti rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Literaturverzeichnis: Seite 151-157 This book tells two parallel stories: one of the spectacular rise and fall of the world's first bubble economy, and another of the enterprising art industry that chronicled its collapse. The Mississippi and South Sea Bubbles, spawning the invention of French banknotes as well as joint-stock companies built on fantasies of New World trade, imposed on everyday Europeans a crash course in new financial products. In turn, a bubbling print market relentlessly caricatured the meltdown of 1720, offering viewers an entertaining primer on the otherwise bewildering realities of modern economic life. Such satirical works - most notably a Dutch compendium titled 'The Great Mirror of Folly' ('Het groote tafereel der dwaasheid') - helped to demystify the disaster by deploying familiar theatrical characters and tragic-comic motifs. Likening the speculative mania to an infectious disease, and spoofing the "herd behavior" of a money-crazed public, its prints portrayed malevolent traders, hoodwinked investors, and a chorus of heroes and villains both real and legendary, from the rakish financier John Law to the foolish Harlequin to the goddess Fortuna. Three hundred years later, our current moment offers a uniquely fitting vantage point from which to reconsider the significance of the bubbles and of the artworks that channeled the fears and desires they unleashed--4e de couv Het groote tafereel der dwaasheid (DE-588)1045052892 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1720 gnd rswk-swf Finanzkrise (DE-588)7635855-0 gnd rswk-swf Börsenkrach Motiv (DE-588)4435882-9 gnd rswk-swf Zusammenbruch (DE-588)4264286-3 gnd rswk-swf Welthandel (DE-588)4065365-1 gnd rswk-swf Wirtschaftskrise (DE-588)4066466-1 gnd rswk-swf Satire (DE-588)4051752-4 gnd rswk-swf Karikatur (DE-588)4029670-2 gnd rswk-swf Amerika (DE-588)4001670-5 gnd rswk-swf Niederlande (DE-588)4042203-3 gnd rswk-swf Europa (DE-588)4015701-5 gnd rswk-swf Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 gnd rswk-swf South Sea Company, Bulle spéculative de la (1720) ; Dans l'art Mégalomanie ; Dans l'art Het groote tafereel der dwaasheid (DE-588)1045052892 u DE-604 Niederlande (DE-588)4042203-3 g Satire (DE-588)4051752-4 s Karikatur (DE-588)4029670-2 s Börsenkrach Motiv (DE-588)4435882-9 s Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 g Geschichte 1720 z Europa (DE-588)4015701-5 g Amerika (DE-588)4001670-5 g Welthandel (DE-588)4065365-1 s Zusammenbruch (DE-588)4264286-3 s Wirtschaftskrise (DE-588)4066466-1 s Finanzkrise (DE-588)7635855-0 s Martin, Meredith 1975- Verfasser (DE-588)1111522456 aut Viljoen, Madeleine 1968- Verfasser (DE-588)143327631 aut SWB Datenaustausch application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032513460&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
