Charles Mackay

Charles Mackay was a Scottish poet, journalist, and songwriter, best known for his work on the history of popular delusions and the madness of crowds.

"Three causes especially have excited the discontent of mankind; and, by impelling us to seek remedies for the irremediable, have bewildered us in a maze of madness and error. These are death, toil, and the ignorance of the future.."
