From t-shirts to bread Jerry gives a couple of examples to help drive home the point that inflation and tariffs can affect us in some unexpected ways.
📊 Historical Snapshot:
Here’s a striking chart showing the price of bread in Berlin during the Weimar hyperinflation:
- Dec 1918 — 0.5 marks
- Dec 1921 — 4 marks
- Dec 1922 — 163 marks
- Aug 1923 — 69,000 marks
- Oct 1923 — 1.7 billion marks
- Nov 1923 — 201 billion marks
This is what happens when inflation spirals out of control.
