	Tulip mania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term tulipomania (alternatively tulip mania) is used metaphorically to refer to any large economic bubble.
		The term originally came from the period in the history of the Netherlands during which demand for tulip bulbs reached such a peak that enormous prices were charged for a single bulb.
		Ultimately, individuals were left in the situation they found themselves in at the end of the crash—no court would enforce payment of a contract, since judges regarded the debts as contracted through gambling, and thus not enforceable in law.
