Zimbabwe

Middle East and Africa

The canonical modern hyperinflation, and the reason to read Zimbabwe at all: property seizure, monetary financing, currency collapse and eventual dollarisation, inside a decade. Haslam and Lamberti cover the monetary story, Scoones the land-reform outcomes with real data, and Coltart supplies the insider view from inside government.
