Book Summary - Tulipmania: Money, Honor and Knowledge in the Dutch Golden Age by Anne Goldgar

We’ve all heard the story: 17th-century Dutch citizens going tulip crazy—trading homes for flower bulbs, losing fortunes overnight, and plunging into ruin when the market crashed. The first financial bubble in history… or so they say. But what if most of it never actually happened? In this episode of Financial Myths, we dig into the real story behind Tulipmania—what actually happened in the Dutch Republic during the 1630s, and how a niche market among a handful of traders turned into one of the most overblown cautionary tales in economic history. With the help of historian Anne Goldgar’s groundbreaking research, we expose the truth buried beneath the legend. No mass bankruptcies. No national craze. No canals filled with ruined tulip speculators. Instead, this is a story about status, exclusivity, and how myths take on a life of their own. What can modern trends—like NFTs, meme stocks, or crypto—learn from the truth about Tulipmania? Why do we keep repeating the same old story about financial madness? Hit play to find out.
