Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Edition. "A fascinating exploration of four great [monetary] inflationary eras of tumult - why they arose - who caused them - how family fortunes survived or were destroyed. What happens when hyperinflation sweeps across an entire society? Whom does it threaten most and whom does it benefit? And when, finally, the authorities act - why do the politicians and the bureaucrats invariably delay until after the value of an entire currency has been totally destroyed?" - dust jacket. Recounts the destruction of Roman currency, the French Assignat, the Greenback, and the Weimar hyperinflation. "Shapiro's fascinating description of four great periods of massive inflation in history should rightly cause us all to treat the present runaway inflation with a much greater sense of urgency than economists and officialdom have exhibited up until now. Timely narrative scholarship at its best." - Senator William Proxmire. [8], [2]-308 p. Tables and index. Book clean and unmarked with light wear. Moderate wear to complete dust jacket now in glossy new archival-grade protection.
