This study focuses on a sample of occupational groups representative of the Mittelstand in the city of Hamburg - white-collar workers, artisans, retailers, civil servants and house owners - and examines the strains imposed by the inflationary conditions on each group, seriously questioning the commonly-held interpretation of the Inflation's effects and chronology.
