Careful that hyperinflation is significantly different from the mainstream story - Mark Blyth writes extensively about this.

This Rory Blyth cartoon has been ungoogleable for at least ten years now, but I still check every so often.

Mark Blyth (some very entertaining talks on youtube), Stephanie Kelton.

I really appreciate the lectures by Mark Blyth because he explicitly talks about tradeoffs.

Also, economist Mark Blyth has written extensively about this.

While this particular lecture is focusing on the situation in the EU, Blyth covers a lot of general econ topics and spends a lot of time on the history of austerity and what it does to an economy.

Blyth's was noteworthy because he was the first to sail singlehanded "the wrong way round," westwards, nonstop.

(2013), “An Introduction to Quantitative Finance” Fun factoid - Blyth was the former head of Harvard's Endowment and Stats prof.

Arguably the "best" confidence interval for this situation is the Blyth-Still-Casella interval (preferred by StatXact), and the "best" hypothesis test is Barnard's test.

“Blyth argues that the case for increasing economic growth through austerity is overstated, is counterproductive when implemented during recessions, and has exacerbated the Eurozone crisis.” Yup!

Blyth, who was a great Zen man, wrote me once and said 'How are you these days?

Hadn't heard of the Blyth-Still-Casella interval or Barnard's test before, so thanks for that.

Blyth demonstrates how our inflation responses are political choices disguised as economic necessities.
