Abstract

The abridged paper exposes the story of Hyperinflation at Germany in 1921 - 1923 as well as an analysis of various supposed causes. In the end the author joins those who believe the pressure by Allies (the first and foremost the obligation, by the Versailles Treaty, to pay reparations) though influenced sometimes, like the Ruhr occupation, rates and amount of emission, was not among the main causes. The critical reason was the economic mindset at all the levels of society and government.
