The end of inflation
ActivTrades
Imagine going to a restaurant for dinner, looking at the menu and ordering a 3-course meal. By the time desert is about to be served, the waiter approaches the table, quietly informing you that the cost of the set-menu has gone up since you ordered, and advising you to ask for the bill before prices rise again. Or, consider going to the shops with carrier bags full of bank notes and then bringing the goods home in those same, not as full, bags. These situations may sound like comedy sketches, but they aren’t. In some parts of the world such scenarios have been reported during periods of hyper-inflation.
