Why do stock and housing markets sometimes experience amazing booms followed by massive busts and why is this happening more and more frequently? In order to answer these questions, William Quinn and John D. Turner take us on a riveting ride through the history of financial bubbles, visiting, among other places, Paris and London in 1720, Latin America in the 1820s, Melbourne in the 1880s, New York in the 1920s, Tokyo in the 1980s, Silicon Valley in the 1990s and Shanghai in the 2000s. As they do so, they help us understand why bubbles happen, and why some have catastrophic economic, social and political consequences whilst others have actually benefited society. They reveal that bubbles start when investors and speculators react to new technology or political initiatives, showing that our ability to predict future bubbles will ultimately come down to being able to predict these sparks.

語言 中 / 英 / 法三種Languages Chinese / English / French《常玉：生平與油畫全集》第一卷，透過檔案資料、照片書信，以及常玉友人的描述來追溯常玉的一生——從他早年在中國和日本的生活，一直到他在巴黎窮困潦倒，不幸離世。常玉從1920年初抵巴黎，鑽研真人模特兒速寫，到開始探索油畫，餘生全心投入；從持續參加沙龍展和各種展覽，希望取得他始終無緣的成功；再到旅居紐約，最後返回巴黎，在種種難以克服的困境下，成為一個更成熟的藝術家。Volume One of Sanyu: His Life and Complete Works in Oil draws upon archival material, photographs, letters, and stories recounted by people who knew him to trace Sanyu’s life from his early years in China and Japan to his tragic death in Paris, impoverished and forgotten. We follow him from his journey in 1920 to Paris, where he delved into the world of sketching from live models, to his exploration of and lifelong commitment to painting in oil, to his continued participation in Salon and other exhibitions, hoping for the success that was never to be, to his experiences in New York, and back to Paris, where he matured as an artist despite insurmountable difficulties.
