5.0 out of 5 stars A story about debt that seems to chronicle events today, April 15, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Fiat Money Inflation in France (Cato paper ; no. 11) (Paperback)

A clear presentation of a governments desparate move using cheap inflated paper money to pay off old debts and its effects on france around 1790. This is not a dynamic novel, but mind bombs go off as the author hits the chain of events that occurred when money is inflated, and is backed only by only a promise to pay the debt it represents. The French find themselves mired in a cycle of ever increasing difficulty to pay that debt off. Although it is not a novel and at times a bit dry, you will definitely be talking to your friends and family about what this author has to say and comparing it to what you see happening now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping tale of effects of runaway inflation in France, March 7, 1998

Clark@xld.com (Round Rock, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fiat Money Inflation in France (Cato paper ; no. 11) (Paperback)

Short book by college history professor can be read in one sitting. Easy to read, holds your attention throughout. Reveals effects of inflation. Even though it is a tale of history 200 years ago, as it goes along, the parallels with present day inflation in the United States are striking. It describes how individuals in the various professions fare under runaway inflation and it reveals which profession fared best, but I won't spoil the book for you by telling you now. Useful info.

5.0 out of 5 stars Want to be ahead of our future?, February 24, 2001

A. Kallmeyer "Heilpraktiker" (Hannover) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fiat Money Inflation in France (Paperback)

The book is about the financial trouble that fiat (e.g.,paper) money created in France during the revolutionary years. It also states clearly that the people didn't learn enough from a lesson they had 70 years early.

If you read this historical account you will very often wonder: 'Hey sounds familiar to me...'. Too bad - or?
