“When Money Dies: The Nightmare of the Weimar Hyperinflation” is a book written by British historian Adam Fergusson, first published in 1975. The book provides a detailed account of the hyperinflation that plagued the Weimar Republic in Germany during the early 1920s. This period is infamous for the collapse of the German currency, the mark, leading to devastating economic and social consequences.
Fergusson’s book is widely regarded as a definitive work on the subject, offering insights into how hyperinflation led to the complete erosion of wealth, widespread poverty, and the eventual political instability that contributed to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party.
The book draws on contemporary accounts, historical documents, and economic analysis to paint a vivid picture of the chaos and despair caused by hyperinflation. It serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked monetary policies and the potential consequences of economic mismanagement.
