Weimar wasn't random in any way or form. A lot of purposeful action went into making Weimar what it was, and the subsequent events what they were. It wasn't the result of random distribution of gains, it was a result of many purposeful actions of many people. Inflation included of course.
- medvezhenok 3y agoThe randomness depends on the perspective - I'm sure that for the people in power or in the know it was not random, but to a random peasant/worker in Germany, it probably seemed pretty random. Same as stock market investing - you can say that the profits are due to smart investing, but you can't ignore all of the centralized decision makers that put their thumb on the scale (i.e. 2008 bailouts?), which preference specific outcomes. In fact, this intervention makes the resulting disparate outcomes worse than random in the eyes of many people (i.e. people are more willing to accept the winner of a random lottery than a lottery that they believe was rigged).
