Wondering, is the inflation up there higher than it was in Germany after the Nazi match?

But if it were the twenties, surely it will not have been Germany alone, right?

Pretty elementary concept, and a universal one when talking about inflation of another country. Good old Crowley, everything must be explained to perfection and in complete detail or you will attack from some different angle, like a small child that feels the need to argue over every little thing in an effort to get attention. Just can't help yourself, can you? Enough. Argue with your parents, I'm done with you.

Here we just use the statistically calculated inflation rate when referring to the inflation rate.
I'm sure there is some link between the two, but to use them as substitute for each other is wrong.

Originally posted by darvlayWell... Partially. That was part of the official excuse, but it's not the whole story. The accelleration of the printing of money began before the end of the first world war and there is evidence that at some point later on, the rate of inflation already largely exceded the rate at which the government could print money.
