>Deflation vs. Hyperinflation  - Rick Ackerman - 
I'll take a stab at that hyperinflation scenario. Initially, inflation grows "slow", just 20% or so for a few years...wages don't come close to keeping up.

Only when most real estate is out of the hands of individuals does real estate also rise in price like everything else, and 100% yearly inflation starts to kick in.
