The book "When money dies" is now available at Maklerska.pl

In 1923, when the German currency became practically worthless, the Weimar Republic almost reverted to a barter economy. Expensive cigars, works of art, and jewels were routinely exchanged for staple foods such as bread; You could buy a movie ticket for a piece of coal, and a bottle of kerosene for a silk shirt. In desperation, the Bavarian prime minister even submitted a bill to the local parliament declaring gluttony a crime punishable by severe punishment.

Since its first publication in 1975, the book "When Money Dies" became the classic story of these strange and frightening times. Weaving elegant analyzes with many accounts of direct witnesses, ordinary people fighting for survival, focusing primarily on the human aspect of inflation, it raises the question of why governments have resorted to it. It describes its terrible corruptive impact on citizens, the tortures of currency recovery, and the dark, long-lasting legacy it has left behind.
