Hello, I'm Coffee. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Inflation seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Coffee  //  have a ☕️ //  beans  // 04:50, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Don't you agree that there is nothing more neutral than saying that inflation is money supply growth and hyperinflation is money supply overgrowth? JeremieR222 (talk) 04:57, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Prices going up or down on a short term basis is not inflation, it's regular supply/demand dynamic. Inflation is a permanent effect of loose monetary policies like low interest rates inducing more borrowing and more upward pressure on prices.

That's why in 1980, Paul Volcker, head of the federal reserve, jacked interest rates to 18%(tighter monetary policy) to contain the 1970s runnaway inflation that had followed the 1971 US decision to cut its last ties with the gold standard (loose monetary policy).

The Fed has 40% more USD in circulation now then it had at the Beginning of 2020 following the stimuluses and sustained bond buying.

Of course a part of today's fluctuation in prices is supply chain related but there is a still growing amount of money supply that will keep prices elevating and people should know about it. JeremieR222 (talk) 20:26, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
