Source Analysis: Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic

Source A: A Shopkeeper's Perspective on Hyperinflation

"During the worst days of hyperinflation, I had to carry a wheelbarrow full of banknotes just to buy bread.

It was a time of chaos and desperation for everyone in Germany." Provenance: Hans Müller, 1923, a personal report from a shopkeeper during hyperinflation in Germany.
