We could talk about Weimar Germany when we talk hyperinflation, but there are actually more recent examples including Zimbabwe and what is going on now in Venezeula and Turkey. Once a currency collapses you are not on a path to some sunny uplands of prosperity, you are on a path to starvation and dystopia.
