Inflation Nation

Now I know all of you read Kosova Report regularly, but I don't want anybody to miss this particular article. The EU warning the author mentions is hilarious and typical European. There is a certain geekiness in his tone too, as if he's telling Serbia "I got your password and have been talking to your girlfriend the last few days."

For those of you who cannot grasp the concept of inflation and the numbers he mentions, it was so bad that in 1993 my mother's monthly wage given to her in the morning was worth exactly a toothpaste by the time she came home. Let's hope that those kinds of denominations with the multitude of zeros won't happen again and dinars of that era will become valuable collection items to illustrate the folly of homo economicus.
