Part 1/9:
The Rise and Fall of John Law: Architect of a Financial Revolution
John Law’s life is a tale of both extraordinary ambition and cautionary failure. Born in 1671 in Edinburgh to a well-off family, Law was destined for a unique journey through the world of finance that would take him from the gallows of a murder charge in Scotland to the heights of power and wealth in France. His story is emblematic of the interplay between innovation and speculation, a narrative that still resonates in today's economic landscape.
