The Secret Ledger Parliament Burned in 1721

In 1720, the British Empire succumbed to the most infamous financial mania in human history: The South Sea Bubble. Marketed as a limitless goldmine in the Pacific Ocean, the company had virtually no real trading business—instead, it operated a massive sovereign debt-conversion scheme powered by parliamentary bribery, circular leverage, and systemic deception. The stock soared from £128 to £1,000 before crashing back to earth, ruining aristocrats, politicians, and even Sir Isaac Newton himself. This is the definitive documentary on how the first mega-bubble was engineered, how the secret "Green Book" ledger exposed the corruption of the Crown, and why human greed never changes.
