Has the United States ever had hyperinflation?
The trend of inflation in the rest of the world has been quite diverse, as seen in Figure 2, which illustrates inflation rates over the last several decades. Inflation rates were relatively high in many industrialized countries, not only the United States, in the 1970s. In 1975, for example, Japan’s inflation rate was over 8%, while the United Kingdom’s inflation rate was around 25%. Inflation rates in the United States and Europe fell in the 1980s and have mainly been stable since then.
In the 1970s, countries with tightly controlled economies, such as the Soviet Union and China, had historically low measured inflation rates because price increases were prohibited by law, except in circumstances where the government regarded a price increase to be due to quality improvements. These countries, on the other hand, were plagued by constant shortages of products, as prohibiting price increases works as a price limit, resulting in a situation in which demand much outnumbers supply. Although the statistics for these economies should be viewed as slightly shakier, Russia and China suffered outbursts of inflation as they transitioned toward more market-oriented economies. For much of the 1980s and early 1990s, China’s inflation rate was around 10% per year, however it has since declined. In the early 1990s, Russia suffered hyperinflationa period of extremely high inflationover 2,500 percent a year, yet by 2006, Russia’s consumer price inflation had dropped to 10% per year, as seen in Figure 3. The only time the United States came close to hyperinflation was in the Confederate states during the Civil War, from 1860 to 1865.
During the 1980s and early 1990s, many Latin American countries experienced rampant hyperinflation, with annual inflation rates typically exceeding 100%. In 1990, for example, inflation in both Brazil and Argentina surpassed 2000 percent. In the 1990s, several African countries had exceptionally high inflation rates, sometimes bordering on hyperinflation. In 1995, Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, experienced a 75 percent inflation rate.
In most countries, the problem of inflation appeared to have subsided in the early 2000s, at least when compared to the worst periods of prior decades. As we mentioned in an earlier Bring it Home feature, the world’s worst example of hyperinflation in recent years was in Zimbabwe, where the government was issuing bills with a face value of $100 trillion (in Zimbabwean dollars) at one pointthat is, the bills had $100,000,000,000,000 written on the front but were nearly worthless. In many nations, double-digit, triple-digit, and even quadruple-digit inflation are still fresh in people’s minds.
