Fall asleep to the stories of Europe’s earliest financial disasters — the original crashes and speculative bubbles that swept through Holland, France and Britain between 1600 and 1720.From Tulip Mania in the Dutch Republic, to John Law’s Mississippi Scheme in France, to the South Sea Bubble in London, this episode follows the first great experiments in paper wealth, credit and stock markets. Tulip bulbs trading for the price of a house, a gambler put in charge of an entire economy, and a company that promised to make Britain’s national debt disappear — each boom ended the same way.These are the crashes that taught the world what a financial bubble was, long before anyone had a word for it.🎧 Best listened to with headphones or a sleep speaker at low volume.⏱ Designed for long, relaxed listening — no ads, no hype, just the story.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━SLEEPY STOCK MARKETFall asleep to the greatest stories in financial history.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━#TulipMania #SouthSeaBubble #MississippiBubble #FinancialHistory #MarketBubble #EarlyModernHistory #StockMarketHistory #SleepStories #FallAsleep #SleepyStockMarket #FinancialCrash #EuropeanHistory #MarketHistory #InvestingHistory #FinancialMania
