In 1630s' Holland thousands of people, from the wealthiest merchants to the lowest street traders, were caught up in a frenzy of buying and selling. The object of the speculation was not oil or gold, but the tulip, a delicate and exotic bloom that had just arrived from the east. Over three years, rare tulip bulbs changed hands for sums that would have bought a house in Amsterdam: a single bulb could sell for more than 300,000 at today's prices. Fortunes were made overnight, but then lost when, within a year, the market collapsed. Mike Dash recreates this bizarre episode in European history, separating myth from reality. He traces the hysterical boom and devastating bust, bringing to life a colourful cast of characters, and beautifully evoking Holland's Golden Age.

评分 评分 评分最近中国人民打招呼的惯用词不再是“吃了么”,而变成了“被套了么”。电梯里、小饭馆、健身房、出租车上,几乎随时随地可以听到这样的对话,然后就是几家欢乐几家愁,有的仰天长叹,有的幸灾乐祸,但一般都是几人哭作一团。虽说所有入市者都知道入市有风险,但谁也不认为自己...
