This is what pretty much happens then. Try not to laugh, but I think I make more money than the whole nation. Sad isn't it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7115651.stm
Well Mr. Bernanke when Inflation eradicated the country some one should care. I bet you wouldn't invest into Zimbabwe's T-bills would you?
"The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (the ZSE) is the best performing stock exchange in the world, the key Zimbabwe Industrials Index up some 595% since the beginning of the year and 12,000% over twelve months. This jump in share prices is far in excess of increases in consumer prices. While the country is crumbling, the Zimbabwean share speculator is keeping up much better than the typical Zimbabwean on the street." http://www.mises.org/story/2532
no it's not sad, they can get rid of the 'paper money' system, and go back to 'goods for goods' trade system like kill your neighbor and give his flesh for a bag of rice, or just eat his flesh, whichever you haven't had in some time
