Obviously the note is illustrated on Fleming's blog, courtesy of an in-country contact.

Fleming's other remarks seem equally to the point, including "At the aquarium shop you can buy this creepy, burkaesque dolphin mask, along with thousands of delightful dolphins, simpering sharks, baby belugas and other stuffed, fluffy variants on the cuddly, but we could not find one inch of shelf in this vast store, in the world's largest aquarium, given over to even one serious book about fish, oceans, or ecosystems." The ten trillion dollar note from Zimbabwe should give aid and comfort to those who seem unaware that large parts of the planet are currently on the brink of a deflationary spiral rather than an inflationary one...but I'll leave explication of Keynesian theory to our Nobel laureate Paul Krugman, who told us five years ago what was going to happen...and why.
