One thing that’s not generally taught about the collapse of the Weimar Republic that preceded Nazism in Germany was the way mortgage holders – particularly farmers – and some other debtors temporarily made out so well under that kind of hyperinflation.
That is, if you’re a farmer, for example, and you have mortgages on everything: home, fields, equipment – but you can grow any food – then those mortgages will be paid off pretty quickly. When you sell a potato for a wheelbarrow full of money, for example, but your mortgage payment is just a fraction of that – because mortgages taken before the period of rapid inflation were never indexed – then you’ll be paying off a thirty-year mortgage in months, if not weeks.
Of course, you’re in the same boat as everyone else when the economy fully tanks (or Hitler starts WWII), but you do own the farm, at least.
I don’t know how much of that kind of issue may be going on in Venezuela right now, but I know that some are profiting from the collapse.
