"Great reading the daily train commute I was taking at the time; eighteenth century history is not for everyone, but I found this book fascinating- a glimpse into the world of speculation."
"An interesting story of the historical beginnings of international finance. Found this at a really interesting libertarian bookstore in Riverside, CA which has a wide variety of interesting books on history and current events."
"Millionaire is a historical sketch on an individual who pretty much swindled his life away; but still managed to stay in high ranking society. It is a very fun read, and it does not manage to dive to deep into the actual economics behind what the individual featured founded. (Some charts or equations would of been very useful.) Worth a read if you want to look at economics and get a specific look at one obscure individual out of the trillions of history."
