John Law
John Law was a Scottish-French economist and financier. He rose to power in France where he created a novel financial scheme for French public finances known as Law's System with two institutions at its core, John Law's Bank and John Law's Company, ending in the devastating boom and bust "Mississippi Bubble" of 1720.
