Before I got up this morning I was thinking that maybe the closest parallel to the fiscal situation in the U. S. (and most of the rest of the world) would be China --maybe 800 years ago.

Am going to research to see if there are any trustworthy accounts of the failed paper-money era then.

Well here's one, but right in the first paragraph is a mistake. The word "cash" does not come from Chinese.
