For every $1 invested in infrastructure, we get $6 back.

Wish I could get that sort of return. She is likely basing these returns seeing all the billionaires there are in Zimbabwe.

She is confusing the velocity of money with return on investment.

Sure, if you are building a bridge and hire local labor, they will spend that money at stores. The stores will buy stuff, and the shippers get that money to deliver stuff. And on and on.

But it is not a return. Unless the government owns all means of commerce.

Oh wait...there ya go!

Well, Zimbabwe was a pioneer of this concept and it worked so well it was adopted by Venezuela as well

They exceeded OC’s expectation be a wide margin. For every dollar they borrowed, it now costs several million

That’s what happens when inflation rates climb above 10000 per cent per Annam
