Boom & Bust

The Mississippi Bubble Part 2: John Law and His Fall From Grace


Listen Later

This episode picks up the story of John Law as he reaches the height of his success and power and follows him through his fall from grace as inflation explodes and France descends into chaos. It follows on from Part 1, which introduces many of the characters and sets the scene for the story of the Scottish adventurer who became the most powerful man in France before it all went wrong. I have tried to keep things as simple and non-technical as possible, although it's impossible to avoid occasionally using words like "economy," "inflation," and the like.
