Thanks for sharing. I can corroborate some of the unemployment numbers in Lords of Finance and have no doubt there was some deflation. I do think the seeds of the Third Reich were sown well before this period mostly due to the insistence of France wanting full reparations and Germany borrowing in foreign currencies.

> Fun fact: it was not hyperinflation in Weimar Germany that led Hitler to power but _deflation_ because of its insistence on sticking to the gold standard.

Do you have a source for this? AFAIK https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation_in_the_Weimar_R...

If you have a mac or linux system, I would just learn whatever is already installed on the machine. For most systems this would be python 2.7.X. This will be a good version to learn the basics of python and most third party libraries will be compatible with it.
