Zimbabweans under Humpty Dumpty Economics

Abstract

This article seeks to understand the economic system of Zimbabwe, driving its notion of humpty dumpty or seemingly chaotic economics from economic fundamentals such as inflation, dollarization, currency floating and governance. The researchers explore secondary data sources across the spectrum to scrutinize their viewpoint on humpty dumpty economics. Based on statistical trend analysis of inflation and the value of money in Zimbabwe the authors conclude that inflation is harmful to the economy, and the ordinary citizens should be the heart and soul of policy making. The authors further recommend that the Government of Zimbabwe should adopt nudge theory when implementing economic policies.
