We think we have bad inflation in rich countries, but hundreds of millions of people are dealing with 30%+ inflation levels in developing countries.
Imagine trying to save with this level of persistent currency devaluation.
In this week's inflation roundup, #Cuba takes the 4th place. On July 14, I measured Cuba's #inflation at 85%/yr. Inflation rates as high as Cuba's make governments, even Communist dictatorships, vulnerable.
