#1 According to a letter from the MDC's economic advisor, the increase in tax rates was accompanied by widening the list of items that could be freely bought and traded to include wheat and maize. Basically that's going to increase demand for foreign exchange on the black market and drive up the costs for everything else.

I suspect Bob's cronies will be the ones who will benefit.

#5 Why does this remind me of the post-war germany stories of trying to buy a loaf of bread with a wheelbarrow of marks.

Then coming out of the store to find that the wheelbarrow has been stolen and the marks dumped on the ground.
