I am very much onside with the thrust of this site but your useful reposting of this article on German Hyperinflation in the 1920's was first printed in 1994 - 10 years ago.

I know the old saw about knowing something is going to happen but not when, but should we be delving further into why the timing has been so wrong - what has happened in the last ten years to make these concerns look so premature timewise that in retrospective you would have to have judged them misplaced.

The answer presumably lies in the rise of China and the behaviour of the rest of the world towards the dollar which is not unrelated to US's standing in the world. We do seem to be on the edge of a precipice now but is there another set of factors which we have not given due credence to so that we are still waiting for a crisis in 2014 ?
