Did the Dutch ever have a chance to stop the massive run up in tulip prices?
It's easy to say what was inevitable when you are looking into the past. Much harder to predict what inevitable future awaits us.

It's interesting that the Dutch actually had more success at stopping the actual tide coming in than controlling a market tide (which was more like a tidal wave I suppose).
One is external, the other exists within. A literal tidal wave is a problem for everyone; a market tide is - by definition - an opportunity to many.
