サマリー
あらすじ・解説
The 1700’s were a period of growing connectivity between towns, cities and countries in Europe. Empire and increased trade meant that a large amount of cash was available to some of the population, not all of which were particularly educated. There were vast opportunities for conmen to get people to invest in the first mass pyramid and Ponzi schemes as well as in funding somewhat schemes based on unproven science. This turned out to be the case for John Day - an uneducated inventor that got himself into trouble with his overconfidence.
