This book presents a comprehensive study of the most famous and spectacular instance of inflation in modern industrial society--that of Germany in the years during and following World War I. A broad, probing narrative, this book studies inflation as a strategy of social pacification, economic reconstruction, and mechanism for escaping domestic and international indebtedness. The Great Disorder is a study of German society under the tension of inflation and hyperinflation, and it explores the ways in which Germany's hyperinflation and stabilization were linked to the Great Depression and the rise of National Socialism. This wide-ranging study sets German inflation within the broader issues of maintaining economic stability, social peace, and democracy and thus contributes to the general history of the twentieth century and has important implications for existing and emerging market economies facing the temptation or reality of inflation.
