Happymob Posts: 1847 Incept: 2007-08-03 West Virginia	Hyperinflation is a term that gets thrown around a lot on this board and yet, as far as I can tell, there is no universal definition of the term. "You'll know it when you see it" doesn't quite work for me. So I am curious, when you use the term hyperinflation, where is the threshold that divides very high "regular" inflation and hyperinflation? ---------- Anything from Missouri has a taint about it. 2009-08-10 09:38:49 Permalink

Happymob Posts: 1847 Incept: 2007-08-03 West Virginia	I've seen 100% in 1 year. I've seen 100% (total) over 3 years (so roughly 26% annualized over 3 years). I've seen 50% inflation/month. That's why I started the poll - I want to see what people mean when they say hyperinflation, because I suspect that we all have somewhat different definitions, and in some cases, dramatic differences. ---------- Anything from Missouri has a taint about it. 2009-08-10 13:07:03 Permalink

Anything else is just really really bad inflation, with the chance hyperinflation is just around the corner. ---------- The kingdom is falling. 2009-08-10 18:47:24 Permalink
