This book is an economic analysis of the Kipper und Wipper
inflation of 1619-23, the most serious German inflation before
the hyperinflation following World War I, with a particular
focus on how it affected people's lives and behaviour. The
volume features full-page reproductions of rare contemporary
broadsheets - early forerunners of the modern newspaper - with
striking illustrations and engaging texts. Published here in
their entirety and for the first time in superb English
translation, they are a unique window on to society at the time
and give a voice to the people who were actually devastated by
the inflation. Broadsheet Descriptions by John Roger Paas. Full
