It sometimes feels like it's the only thing anyone's talking about, but are we actually living through what may be the largest economic bubble in history, spanning AI, mega cap tech stocks, and cryptocurrency?

In this talk, financial analyst Henrik Zeeberg takes us on a journey through history's economic bubbles from tulips and South Sea shares to the dot-com craze, showing how crowd psychology and speculation keep luring us in.

By recognizing the patterns of this past, he says, we can better navigate today's frenzy.

That was Henrik Ziberg at TEDxLillaTorg in Malmo, Sweden in 2025.
