It means price can't go up anymore because ppl can't afford, businesses need to slack ppl off to stay afloat, which make ppl poorer and even less capable of buying stuff.
Thats not really what happened. Hyperinflation was only an issue early into Weimar Germany, certainly not what lead the whole Republic to fall. Hyperinflation was resolved years before the Nazis began to rise
Plus the hyperinflation was moreso an intentional tactic used to devalue their currency to such a point that they could effectively get out of paying reperations and the significant loans they took out from WWI, and then they made it worse by printing tons of money to support striking workers in the French occupied Ruhrland. The whole thing then spiraled out of control
Weimar like conditions are the result of deliberately destructive policies and a series of terrible circumstances. It shouldnt be considered anywhere close to the average or expected result of 'printing more money' because its far more complex than that

Deflation is worse than inflation.
It means price can't go up anymore because ppl can't afford, businesses need to slack ppl off to stay afloat, which make ppl poorer and even less capable of buying stuff.
It's a death spiral
