it was the foreign-denominated debt and the depression, much more than the hyperinflation, that promoted the rise of the Nazis. Along with the "stab in the back" myth about their loss of WW1.

"earning" the money means running a trade surplus (or current account surplus) to accumulate foreign exchange which can be used to pay foreign currency-denominated debts. -- Jim Devine / "In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite." -- Paul Dirac. Social science is in the middle.... and usually in a muddle. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
