Hyperinflace: historická událost nebo současnost?

The paper explores the topic of hyperinflation, which was not heard much in the inflationary crisis that emerged after the COVID-19 pandemic. The thesis focuses on comparing countries that are plagued by hyperinflation or are likely to experience hyperinflation. The paper seeks to find connections between these countries. The research is conducted on the basis of existing publications, data from central banks, international databases and statistical offices of selected countries. Similar drivers of hyperinflation are sought across time, from the First World War to the current problems of Argentina and Turkey. We conclude that although the reasons for the emergence of hyperinflation are individual for each country, some common features can be found, such as central bank dependency, political problems, public deficits or overly loose monetary policy.
