Inflation
Muhtasari
When prices creep up year after year, the money in your pocket buys less and less. Inflation is the sustained rise in the general price level, and it quietly reshapes who wins and who loses across the whole economy, punishing savers and fixed-income earners while easing the burden on borrowers.
In this lesson you will learn how inflation is measured with the Consumer Prices Index, calculate an inflation rate from index numbers, and separate its two main causes, demand-pull and cost-push. You will trace its consequences for savers, lenders, borrowers, consumers, workers and firms, and weigh the policies used to control it. By the end you will be able to measure, explain and evaluate inflation with confidence.
