Tracing the links between the monetary phenomena of the post-World War I
German inflation and its political roots, this study provides a
non-technical explanation of the economics of inflation and explores the
political events and institutions that contributed to the Weimar
Republic's economic difficulties.
Webb discusses such topics as Reichsbank
credit and monetary policy; output and unemployment; government revenue and
spending; capitalism, democracy, and reparations; and the political economy
of Reichsbank policy.
