Summary

Chapter 3 addresses one of the most fundamental issues in war: how to pay for it. In Southeast Asia, the main Japanese strategy was to print money. That effectively shifted the costs of being occupied onto Southeast Asians. The chapter investigates why rapid monetary expansion caused less inflation than could have been expected and true hyperinflation only near the end of the war.
