Nice article! I wish you wouldn't ruin it with hyper-inflation talk. Hyperinflation occurs when a stronger country demands more wealth from the weaker causing the weaker to inflate its currency to hide its forced austerity from its public.

So France wouldn't let Germany off the hook in reparation so Germany started printing money and like all borrowing what you don't have, couldn't control it at a certain point.

The same is happening in Lebanon and Venesuala today. But the people there who have money in strong foreign currencies are NOT experienceing hyper-inflation.

Again, great piece, but I wis you'd think harder about the mechanism behind hyper-inflation. It isn't related to "inflation" in the way you're talking about, which is real, and again, nice article!
