Hyperinflation has a lot more to do with the fact the government irresponsibly printed ridiculous amounts of money.
Farm confiscation and land redistribution happened in 2000 and 2001. Hyperinflation peaked in 2009.
> The land wasn't legally considered or treated as stolen goods and was available on the open market to all races for multiple decades.
Right. Because the colonial rule left all races at the same socioeconomic standing and there actually was a free market.
> The current government has basically acknowledged that the land was stolen
That's a very creative interpretation:
> The agreement signed at President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s State House offices in Harare showed white farmers would be compensated for infrastructure on the farms and not the land itself
