Hey! There are some fantastic book recommendations in these comments.

But I have to give a shout-out to "When Money Dies" by Adam Fergusson. I have not personally experienced hyperinflation, so this truly opened my eyes to the horrors it brings.

I picked out a quote to convince you to read it.

“Just before the First World War in 1913, the German mark, the British shilling, the French franc, and the Italian lira were all worth about the same. . .

At the end of 1923, it would have been possible to exchange a shilling, a franc or a lira for up to 1,000,000,000,000 marks. . .

The mark was dead, one million-millionth of its former self. It had taken almost ten years to die.”
