Inflation in the Weimar Republic

I've added a bunch of statistics to the article and can add some more, but the article could use some more human perspective on the effects of the inflation. For now, it mostly says, "it was bad". There's got to be more to be said about a hyperinflation. Pestergaines 17:25, 23 November 2010 (CST)
Agreed. I will help you as I can. I hope in the end I will have a link that I can quickly send to others and just say: "Just read this and you'll know what I mean"! Portuguese 06:35, 24 November 2010 (CST)

Userbox

I've created a userbox for the project, try {{User WikiProject Economic History}} (e.g. on your userpage). Looks nice by itself, but I run into problems when trying to align it against existing text properly. Does anybody know how to use that thing? Pestergaines 04:09, 28 November 2010 (CST)

Example:

This user is a member of the Economic History project.

Okay, one possibility is to use the {{Clear}} template after it. Pestergaines 04:25, 28 November 2010 (CST)

Inflation in Nazi Germany

I've added a new article on the Inflation in Nazi Germany and it could use some care. I worry about the readability and it could definitively use more references (the links are a good place to start, they contain a lot of good information). Can anybody help out?

Next article

Once through with the newest article, what topic can we attend to? Several possibilities come to mind:

  • Hyperinflation in Zimbabwe is still in recent memory and deserves a full article.
  • The greenback inflation during the American Civil War will surely be of interest for many US readers.
  • But we could also go into most recent history, and map out the current economic crisis some more, with emphasis on countries, that are becoming more and more interesting in this context (say, Ireland or Spain).

Any further ideas? Pestergaines 11:25, 28 November 2010 (CST)

OR how about the monetary crisis in the EU, which seems like a hot topic too, pushing many buttons, with some history behind it and plenty of current events? Pestergaines 17:42, 2 December 2010 (CST)
