The First Book about a Stock Market

The first book known to be written about a stock exchange went on sale at Sotheby's Rare Books and Manuscripts online auction, carrying an estimate of $200,000 to $300,000.
Written by Joseph Penso de la Vega in 1688, the Confusion of Confusions is a primer for the Amsterdam stock exchange, which was set up by the Dutch East India Company in 1602.
The book remained relatively obscure until the late 19th century, when a series of economists, first German, then Dutch, began to draw on the text; the first translation appeared in English in 1959. Today a copy is available in hardcover for less than $30.
