194 u/Classy_Maggot 8h ago Germany tried that once. There's a reason the Weimar Republic lasted for about a decade 40 u/CreBanana0 8h ago No seriously. Why tf would you get hyperinflation if you are countering deflation? 0 u/amitym 2h ago Because printing new money normally goes with economic growth.
