I would also suggest Antoin Murphy's (1997, OUP) beautiful monograph on John
Law. It explains both Law's economic theory and his scheme.
For an earlier seminal text see Joseph de la Vega's (1688) _Confusion de
Confusiones  and JL Cardoso's article "Confusion de confusiones: ethics and
options on seventeenth-century stock exchange markets", Financial History
Review (2002),9:109-123.

There remains, however, the question: how we can have a theory of self-
regulated markets, especially financial markets, in the presence of crises and
depressions? Is there a Laputian element in our thinking?
