Study Notes
Inflation
- Inflation is the decrease in the value of money relative to the overall quantity and production of goods.
- Increased world population leads to central banks creating more money, increasing circulation but decreasing the value of each unit.
- Central banks release more currency regularly to avoid panics, but this results in the value decreasing.
- Inflation can be understood by a value system, like trading marbles: many red marbles, fewer grey marbles, and even fewer green marbles, then tripling the red marbles to lose the value of the whole system.
