The anti Narnian dollar

I know. The title is little confusing. But given the state of Zimdollars ( local currency of Zimbabwe), I was reminded of Aslan's Narnia. A state of prosperity and growth. No chaos, no disorder and no let downs. Zimbabwe, today, is contrary to everything that Narnia could be. I do not mean to intend that there is any Narnia state in this world. But there is a limit to how low a state can go. Zimbabwe has touched the nadir. A trillion zimdollar can buy you half a glass of goat milk. That is, if you are lucky. Reckless printing of currency by Mugawbe regime has led to a total economic collapse. and with it collapse of any hope that Zimbabwe could be revived. I am keeping my fingers crossed and heart is with all those trillion dollar rich ultra poors of the world. May they have a hope.
