- Effective capital controls and currency substitution are the orthodox solutions to ending short-term hyperinflation, however, there are significant social and economic costs to these policies.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hyperinflation article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 85 and blocks with 88: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
