Description

"A fascinating exploration of four great inflationary eras of tumult - why they arose - who caused them - how family fortunes survived or were destroyed. What happens when hyperinflation sweeps across an entire society? Whom does it threaten most and whom does it benefit? And when, finally, the authorities act - why do the politicians and the bureaucrats invariably delay until after the value of an entire currency has been totally destroyed?" - dust jacket. 308 pages. Index. Book clean and unmarked with light wear. Above-average wear to dust jacket which bears tape repairs and has had some portions peeled from its front panel and colored/written in. Dust jacket now preserved in glossy new Brodart. A sound copy of this important work. Book
