"South Sea Bubble": a speculative financial scheme that caught England by storm in 1720. When the bubble burst, panic ensued. Many were ruined, and the government fell. ... The development of an investment market in England was long hampered by the Bubble Act, passed in a vain attempt to halt the crash, which required royal charters for joint-stock companies.
