The Library of Mistakes
The Library of Mistakes is a free-to-use library dedicated to the study of financial history, with an outreach and education programme that includes courses, events, and podcasts. Amid today’s geopolitical and economic ructions, our drive is to extend the understanding of this topic so that both professionals and the investing public can avoid the mistakes of the past.

For a generation, our understanding of economics and finance has been based on the wielding of the decimal point. Probabilistic reasoning has been pushed too far, and the truly uncertain has gone uncounted or miscounted. Financial history helps us understand that uncertainty.
Through our renowned online and in-person courses, we hope to help financial professionals perform a better service for their clients, while also providing courses that can educate and stimulate the enthusiastic amateur.
As part of the Didasko education charity, we help support financial education from the earliest interest through to some of the world’s most cutting-edge research. Our partner, Future Asset, helps encourage young women to work in financial markets, while we support the work of the Market Mind Hypothesis, a multidisciplinary project to improve markets and ultimately benefit society.
