the complete collapse of our financial system is not going to benefit any of us, and there is going to be no way to avoid such a fate if we keep going down this very dangerous path.

Hyperinflation is not an unusual phenomenon. 33 countries have experienced hyperinflation over the last 100 years of which no less than 22 have experienced it in the past 25 years and 4 in the past 10 years. The United States is one of the few countries to have experienced two currency collapses during its history (1812-1814 and 1861-1865). Could it happen again?

There is a difference between inflation and hyperinflation...and there is no gradual path from one to the other. To wind up with true hyperinflation, some very bad things have to happen. The government has to completely lose control... the populace has to completely lose faith in the system... or both at the same time. [Are we there yet? Let's take a look.] Words: 1188

If we look at the economic collapses of the past, from the fall of the Roman Empire to Weimar Germany to Argentina and Zimbabwe, the pattern is extremely similar. Let's have a look at that pattern and ask ourselves if the present situation might not play out much the same.

A look (not a prediction) at a series of not improbable events that could develop [and which] would change our economic world overnight.

Warning: Reader discretion is advised! You are about to read a fictional account of what we could be faced with in the coming years - perhaps as early as 2024 - based on events that are already taking place in America today. It is most alarming but, unfortunately, after everything I’ve seen during my time inside Wall Street, inside the CIA and inside the halls of the Pentagon, that’s the path America’s heading down.

The root cause of hyperinflation is a large Government deficit which is financed by money creation rather than other options like increased borrowing or higher rates of taxation. The following infographic looks at 5 occasions when currencies crashed in a big way.

The longer the economy stays shutdown, the more money we will print; increasing the risk of hyperinflation so we are starting to...

This is the scenario nobody thinks is possible but really, at the end of the day, it’s not like the U.S. can print money and live on debt forever - right? so when something cannot go on forever what happens when it stops?
