Zimbabwe printed a $100 trillion bill.
It still couldn’t buy bread.
Hyperinflation, land seizures, sanctions, collapse.
Now the gov't wants white farmers back — but the land's already gone.

Current bedtime reading is not very cheerful but quite fascinating #WhenMoneyDies by Adam Fergusson about 1920s #hyperinflation. Opening page reminded me very much of a different country to our East today. It took 10 years for the Mark to die, how long for the rouble? Prepare for chaos I guess...

#Germany and a historical misunderstanding:
#hyperinflation: 1921-1924 vs. #deflation: 1930-1932 - The period after 1933 and its consequences were much more devastating due to #Brüning's #austerity policy, chart @diw.de interview (must-read)

@praustrian

We are talking here about whether or not an oversupply of money is the cause of a systemic collapse. Not all prices have to rise for a system collapse, it is enough if the economy is not able to satisfy people's basic needs. This can obviously be caused by war, economic war, crop failure or food speculation. Oversupply of money as the ultimate cause is not so obvious but theoretical (or academic, or hypothetical), so I am asking for real evidence.

@heinrichsgeist That is not hypothetical. That is theoretical. An overall rise in prices is always the result of an increase in the money supply. If there is no increase in the amount of money, an increase in prices for some goods and services inevitably leads to a decrease in prices for other goods and services. #inflation #moneysupply #hyperinflation #demandformoney #economics

Ah, the classic tale of #hyperinflation and #democracy. 🌍💸 But wait, is that #JavaScript in the mix? 🤔 Apparently, the real downfall wasn't economic collapse—it was trying to access a webpage with #cookies disabled. 🍪🙄

Mises saved Austria when he convinced #Bayer not to accept #Bolshevism. Then he saved Austria from #hyperinflation while the German mark was been ruined by the German government. #Mises remained in #Austria until its annexation by the Nazis in 1933. All of his archives were confiscated by the #Nazis. All these years, as the chief economist of Austria, he served the Austrians and Austria first, not their leaders.

Wer das #Bargeld abschafft, schafft sich die Situation, dass alles Geld der Bank gehört und sie sich selbst unbegrenzt Geld geben können, da es nur noch digital existiert und keinen #Geldwert aufweisen muß. Das hat #ElonMusk wahrscheinlich über #Paypal gemacht und ist auch über Kryptowährungen möglich: Die #Hyperinflation

Alle Autofirmen in Deutschland haben nicht den gleichen Umsatz wie #Tesla. Hier steckt der Betrug drin! #ElonMusk

When hypernormalization is about to get hyper, hyperinflation twinkles around the corner. 💫💸 #Hypernormalization #Hyperinflation #Economics #FutureTrends #FinancialAwareness #word

What if #Trump has been telling the truth all along? What if the plan really is #AmericaFirst? Default on the national #debt, fuck our creditors, wipe out peoples' life savings, usher in #hyperinflation, while the #wealthy take safe haven in #crypto, #gold, #realestate and other hard #assets?

You could destroy the #American #lowerclass and #middleclass in one fell swoop, and force everyone into permanent #wageslavery to the ultra rich.

Russischer #Rubel stürzt ab:

Die russische Zentralbank lässt es zu. Die einzige rationale Erklärung ist, dass die russische Regierung sonst den Krieg nicht weiter finanzieren kann. Die Kosten für in #Russland hergestellte Waffen und die Gehälter der Soldaten werden so billiger. Mittelfristig wird diese #Geldpolitik zu einer #Hyperinflation führen. Bereits jetzt stagniert die russische Wirtschaft:
