Description
In 1923, Germany's economy was on the brink of collapse. Its currency had lost all value, and everyday items like bread and a cinema ticket could be exchanged for more valuable goods. The country's finances were in chaos, leading to severe social unrest. This book tells the story of what happened when a nation's currency loses all value, and the devastating consequences that followed.
