How inflation changes the world

Jens O. Parsson's "Dying of Money. Lessons of the Great German and American Inflations" is now online thanks to the Mises Institute.
From the Foreword:
".. The twentieth century brought the institution of inflation to its ultimate perfection.  When economic systems are so highly organized as they became in the twentieth century, so that people are completely dependent on money trading for the necessaries of life, there is no place to take shelter from inflation.  Inflations in the twentieth century became like inflations in no other century.  The two principal inflations that occurred in advanced industrial nations in the twentieth century will probably prove to have done more to influence the course of history itself than any other inflation.  One of these was the German inflation that had its roots in World War I, grew to a giddy height and a precipitous fall in 1923, and contributed to the rise of Adolf Hitler and World War II.  The other was the great American inflation that had its roots in World War II, grew in the decade of the 1960’s toward an almost equally giddy height, and contributed to results which could not even be imagined at the time this book was written...

Comment: I do not believe that the study of history is useless and that all we can learn from history is that we learn nothing. I rather believe that because we know so little about history and that what we are taught about history is largely false that we have to repeat old errors again and again. Now, with the internet at our hands, I'd say that it is an obligation to learn more and more about history, and revisionist history in particular.
