Thank you for listening! The book was called ”The Madness of Crowds” by Charles Mackay. What we will do in the future is probably mention them in the followup episodes but I think we will also have a social media page for the podcast and we will list the titles there. Stay tuned. DLW

Loved this episode! I came here looking for the book and movie titles you mentioned, as I was listening in the car and couldn’t write them down. Would you be able to list these in future episodes?
