Lasst week I reported that the cover price of the Sunday Independent newspaper was $30 billion in Zimbabwe.
This week it is $50 billion (R11.50 in South Africa).
That's $50 000 000 000 000,00
The mind boggles.
The main aim of this blog is to interpret the Christian Order in the light of current affairs, philosophy, literature and the arts -- and vice versa. So it's about ideas. Social, political and religious comment. Links, notes on people, places, events, books, movies etc. And mainly a place where I can post half-baked ideas in the hope that other people, or the passing of time, will help me to bake them.

Thirty billion dollars
Bought a Sunday newspaper today, The Sunday Independent. It had the price on it.
SA R11,50 (Inc VAT)
Zimbabwe $30 Billion.
That's right - $30 000 000 000 000,00
Who needs sanctions?
They couldn't do anything to the Zimbabwe economy that Mugabe hasn't already done.
There was a time when the Zim dollar was worth more than a Rand.
