- a tulip bulb worth $76,000? that’s exactly what happened in Holland in the 1630’s. The whole Dutch nation was caught in a sweeping mania, as people traded in their land, livestock, farms and life savings all to acquire 1 single tulip bulb. The financial devastation that followed the tulip bulb crash lasted for decades, crippling Dutch commerce. In market manias, investors act irrationally. It still happens today (dot com mania anyone?).
