Adam Fergusson’s When Money Dies: The Nightmare of Deficit Spending, Devaluation, and Hyperinflation in Weimar Germany is a popular history that recounts the economic events that continue to haunt Germany today. PublicAffairs restored Fergusson’s 1975 book to print last year in light of current events. What current events? Peter Hartcher reviews them in the excellent American Interest essay “The death of money.”
