Hyperinflation in Zimbabwe didn’t just wipe out savings — it rewired how an entire nation thinks about money. From property obsession to mistrust of pensions, Hyperinflation Induced Trauma (HIT) explains almost every business decision today.
One of the saddest realities I've read. @ my work place we've never gone through any of the hyperinflation periods, however every decision is made through that lense. Every plan, every goal that's gonna take more than 6 months has to make sure in the event of any sign or trigger that hyperinflation is coming, the company is able to wind off of any positions it holds as fast as possible. Very Sad. The Shona adage Kurara rimwe ziso wakasvinura is the best way I know to say how we operate.
