Paying for the German Inflation - Paperback

by Michael L. Hughes (Author)

Contributing to the debate about the nature of politics in Weimar Germany, this study supports scholarship emphasizing that inept attempts to solve the intractable problems of stabilization contributed substantially to Weimar's decline, and it illuminates how conservative attempts to manipulate popular discontent left many Germans open to Nazi appeals. Hughes illustrates the problems arising in the aftermath of inflation and shows how these contributed to the overwhelming economic constraints Germany faced by the late 1920s.
