The idea was the company would use the money generated by the ever-increasing stock sales to pay the interest on the debt. The purchase also came with assurances that interest on the debt would be kept low. The company purchased the £32 million national debt at the cost of £7.5 million. Then, in 1720, parliament allowed the South Sea Company to take over the national Debt. Those involved in the company began encouraging – and in some cases bribing – their friends to purchase stock to further inflate the price and keep demand high. Instead, it was just trading in increasing amounts of its own stock. This is where the bubble began to wobble, as the company itself was not actually making anywhere near the profits it had promised. Incredibly, soon afterwards stocks were returning one hundred percent interest. This further inflated the stock as nothing instils confidence quite like the endorsement of the ruling monarch. However, King George himself then took governorship of the company in 1718. This was unlikely to generate anywhere close to the profit that the South Sea Company needed to sustain it. Spain also taxed the importation of slaves and put strict limits on the numbers of ships Britain could send for ‘general trade’, which ended up being a single ship per year. Instead, Spain only allowed Britain a limited amount of trade and even took a percentage of the profits. However, when the War of the Spanish Succession came to an end in 1713 with the Treaty of Utrecht, the expected trade explosion did not happen. The South Sea Company began by offering those who bought stocks an incredible 6% interest. It didn’t quite play out like that however… The slave trade had proved immensely profitable in the previous two centuries and there was huge public confidence in the scheme, as many expected slave profits to increase dramatically, especially when the War of the Spanish Succession came to an end and trade could begin in earnest. Part of this was the asiento, which allowed for the trading of African slaves to the Spanish and Portuguese Empires. To enable it to do this, in 1713 it was granted a trading monopoly in the region. It was a public and private partnership that was designed as a way of consolidating, controlling and reducing the national debt and to help Britain increase its trade and profits in the Americas. It all began when a British joint stock company called ‘The South Sea Company’ was founded in 1711 by an Act of Parliament. Estimates vary but Newton reportedly lost as much as £40 million of today’s money in the scheme. That it was a catastrophic financial crash is in no doubt and that some of the greatest thinkers at the time succumbed to it, including Isaac Newton himself, is also irrefutable.
