Talk:Hyperinflation

message: All examples in the body of this article (making up the far greater part of this article) are 100% based on the minority definition that  hyperinflation only starts at 50% monthly inflation. That amounts to 13 000% annual inflation. No country in the world has followed this definition since 1989. No country will ever follow this definition. 
283 countries follow the definition that hyperinflation is 100% cumulative inflation over three years or 26% annual inflation for three years in a row (less than 2% monthly inflation for 3 years) as defined by the international accounting standard setters in 1989. 
The neutrality of this article is thus clearly in great doubt.SungSamApple (talk) 09:59, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article 90% based on minority definition of hyperinflation being 50% monthly inflation 

message: The Hyperinflationary episodes section is painfully long. Many of the entries are not very well written and somewhat repetitive, often beginning with something like "Country X went through its worst inflation..." which implies that the example is not itself just very noteworthy. Hyperinflations are hardly rare in misgoverned countries with poorly-managed currencies, or in war zones where the economic base backing the currency is lost or destroyed, and it's surely not necessary to document every currency collapse since the late-1700s.

message: I completely removed this section in examples of hyper-inflation. The US was not a market economy until some point after the Civil War. So hyperinflation citations of pre-market economy US are a joke. Sometime Wikipedia is beyond stupid, to the point where the only word that applies is idiotic. I have no choice but to assume this is typical Wiki agenda driven BS. It becomes tiresome of course. I could not login, so made the change as un-logged in user. 10stone5 (talk) 18:48, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

An examination of that user's Contribution history shows no edits to this page, and the types of pages that user edits are not related to this subject. Given the history of sockpuppetry on this page, I went to revert the edits on the main page, but they'd already been done. I have posted a query to 10stone5's talk page.

message: As an economist who has worked in countries with very high inflation, I am interested in the problems that arise from inflation,how to run a food sector, how to run a business or farm, how to feed the people, in fact the problems that the people of the country face. I am not terribly interested in the cause of the inflation, as I cannot do anything about it. I am also interested in the effects of stopping the inflation, such as the string of famines that followed IMF World Bank restructuring. As the page stands, all that matters is the effect on banknote printers!AidWorker (talk) 10:22, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

message: Are there also political effects that can be observed, certain voting behavior? Another important question is how hyperinflation provokes conflicts, civil wars or interstate wars. These effects would be import besides the economic ones. But I will be honest, I have not found good literature on this topic yet. Perhaps the author of this article could find something.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.201.154.48 (talk) 17:28, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Omission of Zaïre 

message: In the introductory remarks, the third paragraph begins "Economists believe...". This implies a near universal agreement among economists. In fact, the proposition that hyperinflation is caused by money creation is hotly contested. It is an article of faith among neoliberal economists who, admittedly, have a dominant grip on economic policy in the developed world at the moment, but it is disputed by proponents of Modern Money Theory at the University of Missouri-Kansas City whose critique of neoliberal economics is rapidly gaining influence. They contend that money creation is a result, not a cause of hyperinflation. I don't feel it is appropriate to get into that sort of discussion in the intro, and I'm not sure how to edit the intro to fix the problem, but I feel quite sure that this particular construction, which implies no controversy on the issue, is misleading at best. It would be better to put this sort of explanatory material in a separate section where the controversy could be properly discussed with proper citation of authorities espousing the different views. As it is, it smacks of propaganda and privileges a single school of thought, albeit the dominant school, which is likely wrong. Baon (talk) 06:20, 11 November 2017 (UTC)
