Economic Times:
Tulip mania is used as a metaphor to describe an economic bubble. People start investing in a particular asset in large quantities because of positive sentiments about it. This pushes the prices of that asset to very high levels. After reaching a peak, prices suffer a sharp fall due to an extensive sell off, leaving the asset holders bankrupt. These assets are metaphorically called tulips.
Example sentences:
Tulip mania gets brought up again and again, as a warning to investors not to be stupid, or to stay away from what some might call a good thing. (The Conversation)
The enduring power of so-called Tulip Mania means it still gets trotted out in 2018 when people talk about Bitcoin, which reached a record high last November, but has since fluctuated in value. (BBC.com)
But even if a form of tulip mania did strike Holland in 1636, did it reach every rung of society, from landed gentry to chimney-sweeps? Goldgar says no. Most of the buyers were the sort you would expect to be speculating in luxury goods—people who could afford it. (History)

Definition from
az Economic Times angol definíciója:
A <i>tulipánmánia</i> (vagy <i>tulipánőrület</i>) mint szókép gazdasági buborékot szokott jelenteni. A gazdasági javak egy adott fajtájába ahhoz kapcsolódó pozitív hangulatból kiindulva kezdenek nagy tételben befektetni. Ez igen magasra tolja az adott dolog árát. Egy csúcson túl az árak – jelentős eladási hullám következtében – nagyot zuhannak, financiálisan tönkretéve az abba befektetőket. Az ilyen eszközökre mondják szóképként, hogy tulipánok.
Example sentences:
Az 1634–1637 közötti holland tulipánmánia – mint az első buborék – sokféle értelmezése ismeretes: a tömeghisztéria kitörésétől a hatékony pénzügyi piacok korai példáján át a kulturális sokkig. (Közgazdasági Szemle, 2009. júl.–aug)
Azt gondolhatnánk, hogy a kor embere a tengernyi szenvedésből, amit a tulipánmánia hozott, megtanulta mindazt, amit kell. (Magyar Hírlap)
