Need reading suggestions

[gary]

I'd like to read more about hyper-inflation in the Confederacy. Can anyone direct me to any articles or books on that subject matter?

gary, you might try looking in the book review forum--that long-running thread on Civil War books probably has some recommendations.....and there may be something specific that jumps up at you.

As Ole says, just wait--someone will know.....

Didn't we have a thread on hyper inflation a few weeks ago? If I remember correctly, it mentioned some sources. Search the board for confederate inflation.

Check out Douglas B. Ball, Financial Failure and Confederate Defeat.

Thanks everyone. I have some titles now and have to make a request via inter-library loan.

Sorry if I'm late to this party, but I'd like to point you to a possible resource.
