Notes

1

See e.g. Gerald D. Feldman’s The Great Disorder. Politics, Economics and Society in the German Inflation, 1914–1924 (Oxford, 1993); Carl-Ludwig Holtfrerich, The German Inflation 1914–1923. Causes and Effects in International Perspective (West Berlin and New York, 1986); Robert G. Moeller, German Peasants and Agrarian Politics, 1914–1924. The Rhineland and Westphalia (Chapel Hill, NC and London, 1986); Martin H. Geyer, Verkehrte Welt. Revolution, Inflation und Moderne. München, 1914–1924 (Göttingen, 1998). Benjamin Ziemann, in his study of rural southern Bavaria, also speaks of the ‘inflation decade from 1914 to 1923’, and Detlev Peukert likewise uses the term ‘the decade of inflation’ in his very different view of crisis-racked, modern Germany – see Ziemann, War Experiences, p. 8; and Peukert, The Weimar Republic, p. 50.
