Book Synopsis
In 1630s, the Netherlands was gripped by tulipmania: a speculative fever unprecedented in scale and, as history would have it, folly. The author lays waste to the legends, revealing that while the 1630s did see a speculative bubble in tulip prices, neither the height of bubble nor its bursting were anywhere near as dramatic as we tend to think.

Trade Review
"Goldgar tells us at the start of her excellent debunking book: 'Most of what we have heard of [tulipmania] is not true.'... She tells a new story." - Simon Kuper, Financial Times"
