On this episode we break down the fact vs. fiction about Tulip Mania. Tulip fever was a period of speculative frenzy in the Dutch Republic during the 17th century. At that time, the country was experiencing an economic boom, and the tulip trade was flourishing. Tulips were highly prized for their vibrant colors and unique patterns, and the demand for them was so high that their prices soared.
