În Germania anilor 1923-1924 era mai rentabil să arzi bani în sobă decât lemne, pentru că banii ardeau mai mult decât lemnele pe care le puteau cumpăra. Poza e de aici. Asta înseamnă hiperinflaţie.
Germania a fost depăşită de Grecia. În anul 1943 preţurile se dublau la 28 de ore, în Germania "doar" la 49 de ore. Ca să avem o idee, o drahmă din 1953 se schimba contra a 50 de mii de miliarde de drahme din 1943. În cifre 50.000.000.000.000 drahme vechi la una nouă.
Campioana absolută a fost însă Ungaria, preţurile se dublau în 1946 la 15 ore. La 1 august 1946 forintul a fost introdus la o rată de schimb de 400,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 = 4 × 10 la puterea 29 pengõ, nu cred că are nume o asemenea rată de schimb, 1 forint era egal cu 400 de mii de mii de miliarde, sper că am numărat bine. Sârbii s-au oprit la 10 la puterea 28.
Secretarul Trezoreriei Statelor Confederate în timpul Războiului Civil din US a hotărât să accepte şi banii falşi ca fiind valabili.
Aveţi aici toată istoria hiperinflaţiei. Ar fi de râs dacă n-ar fi tragic. Şi probabil.
PS O istorie a banilor, merită citită.

Asta e un fel de invitatie (nerostita) de a ne gandi daca ne paste vreo hiperinflatie. Cumparati aur, scoateti banii de la banca...prostii de-astea :)
Stai ca o sa iti sara oricum in cap aia care vad deflatie oriunde se uita.
Adevarul e probabil undeva la mijloc. Economia a devenit oricum o expresie a "perceptiei", deci doctrinele si legile economice dicteaza mai putin. Daca "boborul" cere hiperinflatie, va fi hiperinflatie.
Nu neaparat, legile economice, mana invizibila a lui Adam Smith, o sa-si spuna cuvantul, indiferent ce vrea boborul.
GRAVITATIA! :D
..ii loveste crunt pe cei care au dubii.
Mai ales cand respectivii cred ca ADEVARURILE pot fi compromise cu ceva.
:P
Mai era un radical care credea in Adam Smith ca in sfintele icoane. Acum suspina si zice ca "nu a crezut ca se poate insela atat de tare". E si un pic roman, ca sa fie asemanarea mai mare.
Il cheama Greenspan...Alan Greenspan. :)
PS: legile economice sunt si alea ale lui Keynes. Si nu seamana cu alea ale lui Smith. Perceptia va deveni o parte din ce in ce mai importanta in piete, firmele de trading au departamente de psihologi si specialisti in reactia maselor...
Tocmai ce zice Keynes o sa ne ingroape.
Si Brejnev avea vise umede in genul asta. Uite ca n-a reusit.
Bine, daca e sa privim asa lista e lunga:
What came out afterwards was a very different Rome. It was much more militarist and expansionist in order to support its large military. Within 100 years Rome's republican politics had subsided into what was effectively dictatorship.
By 270 AD, the precious metal content of Roman coins had fallen to only 4%. Emperor Diocletian issued vast amounts of debased copper coins which inevitably lead to price increases. Diocletian blamed the greed of merchants and in 301 AD issued the Edict of Prices declaring fixed prices with a death penalty for anyone selling above them. Merchants stopped selling goods but this led to penalties against hoarding. When merchants left their trade Diocletian countered with laws saying that every man had to pursue the occupation of their father. The penalty for not doing so was death.
In the words of Del Mar in his History of Monetary Systems, "for nearly two centuries, during which all that was admirable of Roman civilization saw its origin, its growth and its maturity. When the system fell Rome had lost its liberties. The state was to grow yet more powerful and dreaded, but that state and its people were no longer one."
The former republic of Rome descended into essentially what was serfdom.
Alex, tie iti place sclavia si nu stii cum s-o zici, nu-i asa?
:D
va plangeti voi dar au existat si efecte perverse ale hiperinflatiei, sa le zicem asa ...interesante :-). ne zice Otto Freidrich’s in "Before the Deluge: Berlin in the Twenties" :
Yes, the inflation was by far the most important event of the period” says a 75 year old journalist. … It wiped out the savings of the whole middle class, but those are just words. You have to understand what that meant. There was not a single girl in the entire middle class who could get married without her father paying a dowry. Even the maids — they never spent a penny of their wages. They saved and saved so that they could get married. When the money became worthless it destroyed the whole system for getting married, and so it destroyed the whole idea of remaining chaste until marriage. The rich had never lived up to their own standards of course, and the poor had different standards anyway. But the middle class, by and large, obeyed the rules. … But what happened from the inflation was that the girls learned that virginity didn’t matter anymore. The women were liberated.”
@Dragos, pe asta n-am stiut-o, genial. :-)
@Dan: da, e din categoria "unde dai si unde se inflateaza" :-)
Din aceeasi categorie:
“Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist.” Kenneth Boulding
@DanSelaru: dupa cum ziceam, e o chestie de perceptie.
@John Galt: lumea a mai evoluat. Nu mor caii cand vor cainii :)
dragos, cetisi Obeliscul Negru?
@arakelian: nu l-am citit. am vazut ca actiunea e plasata in Germania din aceeasi perioada temporala. confirma/infirma zisele lui Otto Freidrich ?
