The most notable case was post World War I Germany. Germany had reparations to pay and a broken economy. The value of the German mark was 320 marks per dollar in mid 1922. By December it had fallen to 7,400 marks per US dollar. This hyperinflation continued into 1923, and by November 1923, one US dollar was worth <strong>4,210,500,000,000<\/strong> marks.

It is the only &#8220;science&#8221; in which it is impossible to conduct a controlled experiment and get it right. The standing joke is that an economist is someone who doesn&#8217;t have the personality to become an accountant. There is also a theory that God invented economists to make weather forecasters and astrologers look good.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Economists are incredibly good at predicting the past. But the future? Forget it. People claim &#8220;If you laid every economist end to end, it would not be a bad thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And there&#8217;s also,\u00a0&#8220;If all the economists in the world were laid end to end, they still wouldn&#8217;t reach a conclusion.
