Weimar Germany used printing presses (literally) and money velocity skyrocketed.

It was easier to create hyper inflation back then because cash (credit was limited to very few) was also needed for transactional purposes, therefore it was easy to put liquidity/buying power into to the population's hands. After all everybody was paid in cash. Today buying power is created through credit. The next step is to force both borrowers to borrow (and spend it) and lenders to lend. In a nutshell you need two steps today rather then one in Weimar Republic. Nobody here showed me yet logically the method of implementation of the two step process. What is the transmission mechanism from the credit creation (which asset class can be still monetized) to the cash register? Anyone?
