Here it is important to go back to the wild speculation in tulips of the Dutch ruling class. The speculation on Wall Street today in securities, as described above, is merely a modern version of the Dutch primary example. The tulip mania took place during the rise of merchant capital and the expropriation by methods of primitive accumulation of whole sectors of the population, which left scars for decades to come, as the Encyclopedia Britannica so well states. But the Dutch did finally come up with a "solution."
We are most concerned with this "solution" because it has such relevance not only to the present financial gridlock situation but to far broader economic and political consequences.
The Dutch, who had become colonizers during the 16th and 17th centuries, were also finance capitalists in the era of merchant capital. They were unable to stimulate the new mode of capitalist production which was still in its infancy at the time of tulip mania. The economy bogged down following this wild speculation in which the merchants had garnered up the capital from the bulk of the expropriated and to some extent pauperized population. So they turned more intensively to dangerous and odious adventures abroad.And in 31 fucking years the only lesson learned was how to put up a bigger smokescreen! Delight in the all powerful Oz, because a flying monkey is about to shit on your head! (GLP aka American Jedi)
