The search engine is acting a bit funny... I'll have to fix that.

However, I found the post you *might* be looking for. It's a post by Boyd - another one of his short, yet valuable posts!

Boyd's post links to an article, which mentions the book you might be looking for. The book is called "Manias, Panics, and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises" by Charles P. Kindleberger. (It seems to be about the same topic.)

Here's a link to Boyd's original post (you can follow it to the article)....

It could be relevant now, since many people think we are currently in a real estate bubble.
