inflation
lation is an inevitable property of any economy in the world. In simple words, inflation is the rise of general level of prices. However, inflation is a much more complex phenomenon than simply the increase of prices. Inflation (or general inflation) is also identified with the fall of market value of money within a particular economic system. However, some economists prefer to use the term inflation to describe a rapid increase in money supply in a single economy. Generally, this is the main cause of the increase of prices.
“There is no opinion better established, though it is seldom consistently maintained, than that the general scale of prices existing in every country, is determined by the amount of money which circulates in it,” wrote Thomas Joplin in his writing Views on the Subject of corn and Currency in 1826.
History
An examination of historical examples, including Weimar Germany, 1970s Argentina, 1980s Brazil, post-Vietnam America, and China, can prepare an economy facing the threat of present-day inflation and teach its participants what to avoid and what can be done.The effects that inflation causes can weaken an economy to the point of collapse. Inflation and hyperinflation can have a tremendously negative affect on an economic society as seen in post World War II Germany (The Weimar Republic), 1970's Argentina, 1980's Brazil, post Vietnam War in America and the Peoples Republic of China, all economies that have fixed their economic and social woes created by inflation and its adverse effects. Taking a look at these past examples of inflation can prepare an economy facing present day inflation on what to avoid and what can be done. The economy facing economic hardships can learn how to handle the social impacts, how to create a successful plan that can lower inflation and restore a country to some form of economic balance and how the government influences inflation.
