1720 was a year of two bubbles and a plague. The bubbles were the Mississippi Company in France –and the South Sea Bubble in England. In September 1720 – when the bubble burst, England was plunged into an economic and political crisis. This was one of the first examples of a financial boom and bust and was the event that gave rise to the use of the term bubble to describe a spectacular market failure.
