Charles MacKay

299 books • 11 series

From the year 1812 to 1889, Charles Mackay, a skilled writer, and artist hailing from Scotland, lived a full life. He gifted the world with many of his works, including his most renowned tome, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, which saw publication in 1841 and is still beloved as a classic in the realm of social psychology. Mackay's eloquence knew no bounds, as he frequently contributed articles and poetry to a variety of periodicals. Furthermore, he was known to engage in speaking engagements to discuss his vast knowledge of all things literary. The course of history can be altered by powerful beliefs - something that Mackay was fascinated by in his work. Although he was interested in literary pursuits, he also used his platform to champion political causes (such as the abolition of slavery). With an impressive ability to convey complex concepts in an engaging and comprehensible manner, he demonstrates a sharp wit and a discerning focus on detail in his work.
