Oh, I get it - the FINAL, final hyperinflatiion only lasted a few months, after years of hyperinflation.
After all, I could have looked at a chart??? DANG! Why didn’t I THINK of that . Sheesh. It’s all so clear to me now, when I knew nothing about it before. I bow to your superior wisdom and understanding, etc. Begging your forgiveness...
Why not settle down and have a polite discussion?
I have used the common definition that inflation reaches the hyperinflation level at about 50% per MONTH or roughly 13,000% per year. Based on this, Weimar Germany spent many years with inflation sitting well below the hyperinflation levels that hit at the end. From the middle of 1914 to the middle of 1922 the total inflation over 8 years in Weimar Germany was about 6,000%. Then inflation took off and finally reached 29,500% per MONTH, or nearly 21% per DAY. Although Weimar Germany became famous for inflation, it was nothing compared to Zimbabwe’s peak inflation of 79,000,000,000% per MONTH.
