Hello, my name is Mo, and you've reached The Roundabout.

Today's topic is all about manias. We visit a handful of them as they went down, dating back from hundreds of years ago to ones we're going through as you read this message. We examine the causes, catalysts, bursts, and aftermaths of some of the largest speculative bubbles we've seen.

Will humanity ever learn from these bubbles? Are they an uncontrollable byproduct of innovation? Why do we keep running into this roundabout? In today's episode, we'll be diving deep into all of that, and more.
