I believe MacKay's book (quoted here) is most famous for its account of the Dutch tulip mania[0], which is one of the most notable financial bubbles in history (somebody reportedly paid 12 acres of land - 5 hectares - for a single bulb).

I didn't read the book, I'm afraid. I don't know if he actually mentions it anywhere.
