Understanding Inflation CHAPTER 5

Inflation is the rise in the overall price levels of goods and services over time, reducing the purchasing power of money. It affects everyone, from consumers to businesses, by influencing costs, spending habits, and savings. Understanding inflation helps us grasp how prices change and how it impacts daily life.

As prices increase, money buys less than it did before, which can impact economic decisions on personal and national levels. Knowing how inflation works allows us to make informed choices and understand government actions to control it.
