In this episode, we’ll explore the hyperinflation crisis that struck Weimar Germany following the Ruhr crisis. We’ll discuss how excessive money printing led to the rapid devaluation of the German Mark, causing skyrocketing prices and economic chaos. We’ll examine the severe consequences for ordinary citizens, from pensioners losing their life savings to businesses collapsing. Finally, we’ll look at the few groups who temporarily benefitted and consider the broader social and political impact of this financial catastrophe.
