Scenarios about 'hyperinflation'
The extreme devaluation of currency characterized by rapid and uncontrollable price increases, typically exceeding 50% per month. Historical examples include the Weimar Republic in 1923, Hungary after World War II, and Zimbabwe in the late 2000s, where economic collapse required citizens to carry billions or trillions in local currency for basic purchases. In alternate history scenarios, hyperinflation often serves as a catalyst for regime change, social upheaval, or the emergence of alternative economic systems.
