John Law and the Mississippi Bubble of 1720: a convicted killer and professional gambler takes over the money of France... and breaks it. Paper money, a royal bank, shares that soared from 500 to nearly 10,000 livres, and a crash that left around 15 people crushed to death at the bank's doors. In this episode, Mr. Ducat follows John Law from a fatal duel in London's Bloomsbury Square to the Banque Royale in Paris. How his "System" worked: a royal bank printing notes, the Company of the Indies selling shares in French Louisiana, and the national debt of France folded into one machine. How the Rue Quincampoix went mad, why Paris needed a new word (millionaire), and how the decree of 21 May 1720 broke the spell. Then the run on the bank, Law's escape under a false name, and his final years at the card tables of Venice. No economics background needed. Just the story, the people, and the numbers.
