Dear Sir; Herewith is subwitt the briel outline of a proposal to conduct a winter exp tion through the present all-season tourist area and the pro ective wi tel' tourist areas adjacent to the Great Northern R~ way with the definite object of securing material for th use and advantage of the Great Northern Railway Publici and Tourist Extension Department.

Mr. Riviere is known throughout motion picture circles as the breeder and trainer of the dog "Strongheart~ appear­ ing in the motion picture of that title, and of many other dogs and wolves ~sed in the pictures .

Among the suggested c..rticles it is proposed to prepare one for the National Geographic SOCiety for publ ication in the i~a tioni::ll Geographic lV1agaz ine. Such an article would be profusely illustrated and the National Geographic Magazine having hundreds of thousClnds of readers the resulting publicity would unquestion&bly prove of great value to the Tourist Extension De partment of the Great Northern Railway .

Uncertainty and Hyperinflation: European Inflation Dynamics after World War I Jose A. Lopez Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Kris James Mitchener Santa Clara University CAGE, CEPR, CES-ifo & NBER* May 9, 2018 ABSTRACT. Fiscal deficits, elevated debt-to-GDP ratios, and high inflation rates suggest hyperinflation could have potentially emerged in many European countries after World War I. We demonstrate that economic policy uncertainty was instrumental in pushing a subset of European countries into hyperinflation shortly after the end of the war. Germany, Austria, Poland, and Hungary (GAPH) suffered from frequent uncertainty shocks – and correspondingly high levels of uncertainty – caused by protracted political negotiations over reparations payments, the apportionment of the Austro-Hungarian debt, and border disputes. In contrast, other European countries exhibited lower levels of measured uncertainty between 1919 and 1925, allowing them more capacity with which to implement credible commitments to their fiscal and monetary policies.

Hall Volume Publisher: University of Chicago Press Volume ISBN: 0-226-31323-9 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/hall82-1 Publication Date: 1982 Chapter Title: The Ends of Four Big Inflations Chapter Author: Thomas J. Sargent Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c11452 Chapter pages in book: (p. 41 - 98) The Ends of Four Big Inflations Thomas J. Sargent 2.1 Introduction Since the middle 1960s, many Western economies have experienced persistent and growing rates of inflation. Some prominent economists and statesmen have become convinced that this inflation has a stubborn, self-sustaining momentum and that either it simply is not susceptible to cure by conventional measures of monetary and fiscal restraint or, in terms of the consequent widespread and sustained unemployment, the cost of eradicating inflation by monetary and fiscal measures would be prohibitively high. It is often claimed that there is an underlying rate of inflation which responds slowly, if at all, to restrictive monetary and fiscal measures.1 Evidently, this underlying rate of inflation is the rate of inflation that firms and workers have come to expect will prevail in the future. There is momentum in this process because firms and workers supposedly form their expectations by extrapolating past rates of inflation into the future. If this is true, the years from the middle 1960s to the early 1980s have left firms and workers with a legacy of high expected rates of inflation which promise to respond only slowly, if at all, to restrictive monetary and fiscal policy actions.

  • Economic Crises of Weimar Republic, 1923 & 1929 Block
    LHS World History Name: Reading #1 Date: Economic Crises of Weimar Republic, 1923 & 1929 Block: Two economic events shattered the average German’s faith in the Weimar Republic. The first event was the hyperinflation crisis of 1923. The second event was the Great Depression that began in 1929. When in January 1923, France and Belgium occupied the Ruhr in response to Weimar’s announced policy of “non cooperation” Berlin countered by ordering passive resistance. In doing so, they paid the workers of Germany to not work. These became known as “resistance wages.” To pay the resistance wages, the presses ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ began to print astronomical amounts of money. By December 1923, Germany was in the grips of a hyperinflation crisis unprecedented in the annals of western civilization. $1.00 cost 4 million RM (Reichmark). A woman might order a cup of coffee for 5000 RM and get a bill for 8000 RM an hour later. By December of 1923 90% of average family expenditure was going towards food. A massive crime wave swept the country. Child prostitution was off the charts as families sold their children for food, and precious metals disappeared off th of the streets. Germany collapsed into a full barter economy, reminiscent of 9 ​ century Europe. Full economic ​ collapse stared the government in the face. Though for years it has been claimed by historians that the hyperinflation crisis wiped out the German middle class, this was simply not the case. The inflation did not destroy the economic position of the middle class. Some like mortgage holders, debtors or businessmen who bought on installment payments gained; others such as investors or bondholders, lost.
