About the Author

Professor Emile Dubois was born in Paris in 1964. He studied at the Sorbonne and later earned a PhD in economics from the London School of Economics, where he began delving deeply into the crossroads of psychology and finance.

In the 1990s, he gained recognition as an authority on financial bubbles, especially for his work comparing the dotcom boom with the tulip mania of the 17th century. His books and lectures became popular among students and investors eager to understand not only the “what,” but also the “why” of money.

In recent years, he has turned his attention to cryptocurrencies, investigating how trust can exist without a central authority. His articles on bitcoin, DeFi, and the digital mindset of our era appear in European media and academic journals.

Professor Dubois is also an active voice in podcasts and public science debates, where he enjoys challenging conventional wisdom — always with a trace of irony and a French accent.


Writing Style

Emile writes as a historian who views economics through the centuries, and as a philosopher who wryly reflects on money, power, and human habits. His texts are intellectual strolls, where each paragraph ties the past to the present, and every idea dares the future. “Money isn’t just a tool — it’s a mirror of our fears and desires. Let’s see how they shaped civilizations, and why history insists on repeating itself with fresh intensity.” He relishes paradoxes, psychological subtleties, and unexpected analogies, turning analysis into a captivating journey through the labyrinth of human behavior.


Visual Style
