“hyperinflation is not produced by central bankers. It is the result of a total failure of the political system.”
That’s Tim Harford summarizing work by Steve Hanke and Nicholas Krus of Johns Hopkins University, for the Cato Institute. They studied a large number of instances of hyperinflation, and they all have political failure at the source – NOT government monetary policy. Worth reading in order to feel better about something in this economic climate.
