Charles Mackay, a British poet, journalist, and songwriter, is best known for his work on social and political issues in the 19th century. His most famous work, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, critiques societal trends and mass hysteria. Mackay's exploration of human behavior and his ability to blend history, psychology, and humor in his writing continue to inspire readers and writers. His work encourages us to question societal norms, think critically, and recognize the power of collective behavior in shaping the world.
"Money, again, has often been a cause of the delusion of the multitudes. Sober nations have all at once become desperate gamblers, and risked almost their existence upon the turn of a piece of paper."

"War in men's eyes shall be A monster of iniquity In the good time coming. Nations shall not quarrel then, To prove which is the stronger; Nor slaughter men for glory's sake; - Wait a little longer."

"There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it."
