I have to wonder if this is a legitimate concern. Have strong economies ever actually "oopsed" their way into hyperinflation? In real life, the only examples I can think of were places that were weak economies already in dire straits - hyperinflation is one kind of market crash, but they were on a path towards a devastating market crash regardless. Are there prosperous countries who imploded that I don't know about?

My theory is the stagflation of the 70s scared so many economists they basically have a mild form of PTSD about this potential hypothetical hyperinflation that has never been a true threat to America.
