Abstract

Financial bubbles have regularly grown, burgeoned and burst many times in the history of the world. One needs only to mention the British South Sea bubble of 1720, the Dutch Tulip bubble of 1637, the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the Dot Com bubble of 1998–2000, and the mortgage securitization bubble of 2007, to raise a wry smile on the faces of those addressed.
