In the early 1990s, extremely high inflation rates of 2500% were common in Russia. During that time, we can say that as a result
Akimi4 [234]

Answer: Hyperinflation

Explanation:

Hyperinflation is a very high and accelerating inflation. It gradually destroys the real value of the local currency in the country as prices of all goods soar. This results in people minimizing their holdings in the currency and may switch to a more stable foreign currency, such as the United States dollar.

Typically, the general price level increases even more quickly than the supply of money as people try getting rid of the devalued currency quickly.

Hyperinflation is often caused by wars, sociopolitical upheavals or collapse in aggregate supply

To what extent were LBJ’s policies an extension of populism and progressivism?
vazorg [7]

Answer:

The two main policies of Lyndon B. Johnson were the Great Society, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

These policies had the goal of either granting equal rights to all people, and ending many forms of discrimination (Civil Rights Act), or increasing the government provision of welfare benefits to its citizens (the Great Society).

Both policies can be seen as a direct result of progressive and populist policies that were enacted decades before.

For example, the policies of the Great Society are seen by many scholars as a direct expansion of the policies of the New Deal, of Franklin D. Roosevelt, which were progressive policies aimed at helping poor Americans affected during the Great Depression of the 1930s.
