Adam Fergusson’s When Money Dies details the 1914–1923 German hyperinflation crisis, illustrating the profound social and moral decay resulting from the collapse of the currency. The work explains how post-WWI debt and reparations forced excessive currency printing, resulting in a shift to a barter economy and the destruction of the middle class. It highlights how economic collapse fueled political extremism, culminating in stabilization with the 1923 introduction of the Rentenmark.
