The Library of Mistakes is a free-to-use public library dedicated to the study of business and financial history. Founded by investment strategist Russell Napier, its mission is to help people learn from the economic and financial mistakes of the past to improve their understanding of the present and future. Operating under the charitable umbrella of The Humble Foundation, the library provides access to a vast collection of books and resources, hosts regular events, and fosters a community for students, investors, and the general public to explore the cycles of financial markets. It began in Edinburgh, Scotland, and has since expanded with branches in other countries.
