Tulips were brought to Europe in the sixteenth century, where they became a highly prized status symbol in a very short time. "Tulip mania" was a speculative frenzy over tulip bulbs that resulted in a large economic bubble. Tulip bulbs were traded on stock exchanges, and some traders sold bulbs that had not even been planted yet. Recently, some scholars have questioned the real economic causes and impacts of the events. |
