It's time to start hopping for more inflation
This article talks about how inflation helps boost the economy. Deflation can cause higher unemployment. In theory, I agree with this article, but looking at the economy right now, I don’t think we should hope for more inflation. Prices increased a lot in the past years, but incomes barely increase at all. We’re already making less money and have to pay more to get something that we could get at a lower price before. Things are already too expensive now, why ask for more inflation when there will be people suffering from it? What will people with fixed income going to do when they can’t afford their living? We shouldn't be too greedy.
