A convicted murderer talked the King of France into handing him the keys to the entire economy. He printed money, created a company backed by imaginary gold, and turned Paris into the most frenzied trading floor in history.In this episode of Market Mayhem, we follow John Law — Scottish gambler, duellist, and self-taught monetary genius — from a London prison cell to absolute control of France's finances.

Then the currency collapsed, people were crushed to death in bank runs, and Law fled in disguise.This is the original money-printer-goes-brr story. And the lessons haven't expired.
