Nel 1635, ad Amsterdam, per comprare una casa di lusso su uno dei canali più belli servivano 5.000 fiorini e un bulbo di Semper Augustus ne valeva 5.500. Nel 1636 il prezzo medio di un bulbo di tulipano corrispondeva al reddito di oltre un anno e mezzo di un muratore. La tulip-mania aveva spinto i commercianti a stipulare contratti per acquistare e vendere bulbi di tulipano ancora non raccolti, basandosi sulla previsione che i prezzi sarebbero continuati a salire all'infinito. E invece, nel 1637, la bolla dei tulipani scoppiò, mostrando al mondo intero quanto un sistema finanziario possa essere fragile se basato solo sulla speculazione.

Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
