<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 796309, member: 3011&quot;]As you point out, there is no single answer.&nbsp; Nixon imposed price controls when inflation hit 4%, and that rate is certainly high.&nbsp; In the 1970s, it was popular to caclulate the &quot;Misery Index&quot; by adding together the inflation rate and unemployment rate.&nbsp; Anything over 10 was bad and anything over 20 warned of potential collapse.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think hyperinflation is a number.&nbsp; It is the point where folks lose confidence in the dollar and begin to protect themselves from holding it or seek alternatives to it.&nbsp; My guess is that a hyperinflation mentality would not kick in unless the rate hits at least 6% and probably could not be avoided if inflation hit 12%+, but that&#039;s just my personal estimate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
