  For a more recent and way more reliable book on economics mania I would suggest “Boom and Bust: A Global History of Financial Bubbles” by William Quinn and John D. Turner https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48989633-boom-and-bust

  When Quinn and Turner wrote their book Boom and Bust: A Global History of Financial Bubbles they concluded Tulipmania was not a bubble and so did't include it: * https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/48989633-boom-and-bus...
