A convicted murderer talked the King of France into handing him the keys to the entire economy. He printed money, created a company backed by imaginary gold, and turned Paris into the most frenzied trading floor in history.In this episode of Market Mayhem, we follow John Law — Scottish gambler, duellist, and self-taught monetary genius — from a London prison cell to absolute control of France's finances. He invented paper money, created the Mississippi Company, and promised Louisiana was overflowing with gold. It wasn't. The word "millionaire" was coined in the streets of Paris. Then the currency collapsed, people were crushed to death in bank runs, and Law fled in disguise.This is the original money-printer-goes-brr story. And the lessons haven't expired.

The world's first financial bubble wasn't stocks, crypto, or real estate. It was flowers.In this episode of Market Mayhem, we travel to the Dutch Golden Age, where the richest nation on Earth gambled everything on tulip bulbs. At the peak, a single Semper Augustus sold for more than a house. Chimney sweeps became speculators. Taverns became trading floors. And when the music stopped in February 1637, prices crashed 99% in days.This is the origin story of every bubble that followed, and the trading lessons haven't changed in 400 years.
