Hyperinflation represents an extreme and rapid form of inflation, where a country’s currency loses its value at an alarming rate, often exceeding 50% per month. Hyperinflation can erode the purchasing power of a currency, causing financial hardship for individuals and businesses. It can also destabilize economies and lead to social unrest, making it a critical concern for policymakers and central banks. Understanding the causes and consequences of hyperinflation is essential for formulating effective monetary and fiscal policies to maintain economic stability.

Studying hyperinflation in history provides valuable insights into the complex interplay of economic, political, and psychological factors that contribute to such extreme economic events, making it a compelling subject for economists, historians, and policymakers alike.

These historical case studies are few examples of many that illustrate the radical impact hyperinflation can have on economies and societies. We are interested in all financial and economic historians working on the topic of hyperinflation and its financial and political implications in general as much as scholars and practitioners to showcase individual cases of hyperinflation.
Please send your proposals (1 page with short outline, plus link to your credentials) no later than 1 February 2024 to: c.hofmann@bankinghistory.org
