Tulip-o-mania was a period during the Dutch Golden Age when contract prices for some bulbs of the recently introduced and fashionable tulip reached extraordinarily high levels, with the major acceleration starting in 1634 and then collapsing in February 1637. It is generally considered to have been the first recorded speculative financial bubble in history—and countless people lost entire fortunes speculating on the pretty little flower. #WikiSleep #TulipMania #Sleep #MassHysteria #Dutch
