The Bubble Act: New Perspectives from Passage to Repeal and Beyond de Helen Paul

The Bubble Act: New Perspectives from Passage to Repeal and Beyond: Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance

Editat de Helen Paul, Nicholas Di Liberto, D`Maris Coffman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – iul 2023
This book reassesses the actual effects of the Bubble Act, still popularly associated with the bursting of the South Sea Bubble. The book builds on the foundational work of Ron Harris to discuss the act’s effect on corporate governance, literary culture, colonial law, and the Industrial Revolution. The Bubble Act was deemed an empty letter within England itself as it was rarely used in legal proceedings. Several chapters consider whether this was the case outside England, from Scotland to the Americas, India, and Africa. Others assess the impact of the act, both on literary culture and in the history of economic thought. The act has been conceptualized as a brake on economic development or of little consequence. This edited collection offers a timely reassessment of the Bubble Act and its legacy.
