Usually ships within 3 to 5 working days Description of When Money DiesHow can a country's finances spin so totally out of control that no one can halt the headlong plunge into the abyss? How does a society react to the destruction of its money, of the traditional store of national wealth, and the private savings of men and women? What is the human cost of high inflation? What price must be paid, politically and socially, for recovery? What moral and physical scars does it leave behind on the nation which has endured it?After the First World War, Germany suffered the terrifying answers to these questions. Adam Fergusson's acclaimed, long out-of-print account of Weimar hyper-inflation tells the human stories behind the numbers. It is a classic of reportage and historical analysis: a book that reminds us why - and how much - money matters. Title Information
