Most everyone's favorite example is the so-called Tulip mania that infected what is now the Netherlands in the early 17th century. Greenspan's choice has generated riches beyond mankind's wildest dreams; Stiglitz's approach would prevent the emergence of stock bubbles that, since the tulip mania in Holland nearly four centuries ago up to the most recent Internet fever, have turned illusions of splendor into a nightmare.
