TI - “The Bitter Smell of Tulips” (The speculative bubble in literature)
AB - Zbigniew Herbert (one of the greatest poets in the twentieth century) graduated from the Trade School (now the Cracow University of Economics). The fact can be seen in his work. In Herbert’s essays we find not only a wide range of economic problems, but the real passion with which the author describes the economic base of any civilization. Essayist takes care of micro-and macroeconomics. From the economic point of view, one of the most interesting essays is dedicated to sketch the phenomenon of the speculative bubble in 17th century Holland (“Tulips smell bitter volume”). This paper is a fragment of the work in print: Józef Maria Ruszar, The Worn Profile of Roman Coins: Economy as a Literary Subject in the Works of Zbigniew Herbert (Wytarty profil rzymskich monet. Ekonomia jako temat literacki w twórczości Zbigniewa Herberta), JMR Transatlantyk, “Biblioteka Pana Cogito”, Kraków 2016.
