I don't know the history of inflation and devaluation in France very well, but it seems to me the United States could go into a sort of post-colonial period of fluctuating inflation and devaluation, not a Weimer type, a Turkish type, or certainly not a Zimbabwe type.

I stopped and ordered myself a copy of "An Economic History of Modern France."

I gather that, as might have been expected, inflation was enormous in the period 1914-1920, maybe 400% over the period.

Inflation then seems to have fluctuated between 10% and 50% per year on up to the 1960s.

Bad enough, but not Weimar or Zimbabwe.
