    If nothing happens either way you'll make some noise.

    The best book I’ve found on the Weimar debacle is ‘When Money Dies’-Ferguson. Lots of first hand info, detailed central bank players/actions, market, political intrigue, currency and anecdotes about consequences people ran into.

    The similarities with our current predicament is eye opening. Projecting our future path along their lines can be breathtaking.

    The book is likely out of print, but good used copies seem available. PDFs are all over the net. Here’s one:

    Here’s another book that delves first-hand deeper into what Weimar society was like for those unafraid of street level detail. The cultural similarities compared to ours a century later is more than eye opening.

    Good uptrend on guns + ammo sales also.
    I'm sure it did better than a wheel barrel full of cash.
    But I dont live in a socialist state.[TN,USA] is not germany; but then= I dont do socialist health care trainwrecks in usa/ or mess with free gov showers/free gov gas.
    Prefer good trends like today +ammo + venison/smoked venison.
    ACTUALLY I have plenty of ammo/ but as you hinted /better buy too much than too little ammo:caution::caution::caution::caution::caution::caution::caution:

    The link failed for some reason: The book is "What I Saw" by Joseph Roth
