Abstract

Like the South Sea Bubble as a whole, the Bubble Act of 1720 has been beset by assumptions, with careful research at something of a premium. Building upon the path-breaking article of Ron Harris (in J Econ History 54:610–627, 1994), this collection of essays reacts in important ways to that sorry state of affairs. As the varied subject matter of the chapters shows, this is done in various ways. These closing remarks reflect on some of their more general consequences. This is done under three headings: interpreting the Bubble Act in the context of other economic legislation of the period; its consequences—‘operation’ seems too strong a word—for business formation and fortunes; and its role as an organising myth.
