Of the books published regarding hyperinflation, this may be the only one that provides effective strategies for operating a business under conditions of a rapidly depreciating currency. "The Hyperinflation Survival Guide: Strategies for American Businesses" was written by Dr. Gerald Swanson (an associate professor of economics at the University of Arizona). Harry E. Figgie, Jr. sponsored the research and production of this book. As it was originally printed in 1989, it was way ahead of its time. However, this doesn't change the fact that this book will prove to be an excellent resource for businessmen and individuals once the Federal Reserve's destruction of the U.S. dollar enters its terminal stage.

Clearly the authors did a lot of work putting this together, and although it packs a lot into a short space, it is nonetheless very understandable and easy to read. Although some of the content is perhaps obvious for the forward thinker, it also contains insights into hyperinflation that one might not think about. The only negative thing I could point out is that it is a little dated, for example suggesting that customer companies insist that their banks allow them access to "special services such as electronic access to their account balances" and the like. On the whole, a very informative and useful book for understanding basic hyperinflationary business strategies.

With the real possibility that the Fed will so destroy our Dollar that hyper inflation occurs, this is a timely and important book. The author has extensively invested business responses to hyperinflation in places such as Argentina and Brazil, and offers advice on how to survive in such a devestating environment. Businesspeople should read this book. Those who do will will discover ways to improve their current business, and prepare themselves for the inflation to come.

CEOs, CFOs/Treasurers, and all other senior executives who have a responsibility for the operations and cash flows of their company should read this concise primer *NOW* and give some thought to what they can and might do in any period of growing/high/hyper inflation. These lessons, from interviews with modern companies large and small; banks, manufacturers, distributors, and others; offer insights from businesses who have had to experience, and learned how to exist through, out of control inflation. Again, not just big businesses, but every business should get this concise, and pertinent guide to inventory, cash, and management strategies that became necessary, and that Worked. Be informed. Be prepared. You will absolutely be glad you read this book.

The book is very short. Succinct? yes. Too short? yes.
The biggest problem I had with this book was that it was written in the 80's. Read more

The information given here is now available in other, more recent books but I marvel at the fact that this book was written in 1989! Read more

Could have been done in 5 pages
This is a very short book. Only 87 pages, but all the material could have been presented in about 5 pages. And of that 5 pages of material, at least half is just common sense. Read more

Good reading, but a bit repetitive
A very interesting and informative book on hyperinflation. It draws example from a period of hyperinflation in Brazil to give advise to business in the US. Read more
