Hyperinflation is extreme,
rapid, and out of control inflation
Classic example in Germany: In 1922, the highest denomination was the 50 thousand Mark. By 1923, the highest denomination was 100 trillion Mark
That’s a 1.9 x 10^11% increase!!!

too few goods. Demand-pull inflation is caused by too much
aggregate demand

Cost-push inflation occurs when the cost of
producing goods rises; usually this is an increase in the cost of inputs.
This causes aggregate supply to decrease. This is more harmful to the economy because not
only does the price level go up, but the output or GDP declines.

There are several causes of inflation:
Wage-price spiral Government spending
Causes of Inflation
![Page 8: Inflation is a general rise in the level of prices. Deflation is a decline in the level of all prices. Inflation v. Deflation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649db65503460f94aa7dff/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The wage-price spiral is when prices rise, causing workers to demand raises to pay the higher prices causing prices to increase again because the workers are paid more money;
This continues and we are in a wage-price spiral.
This is related to cost-push inflation because wages are paid for the labor input.

Government spending too
much money causes deficit spending.
This is related to demand- pull inflation.

Quantity theory of
money or inflation is what Monetarists believe.
The money supply should grow at a constant rate to equal the growth of the economy.

Two ways to measure inflation are CPI and PPI. These are two types of cost of living
adjustment or “COLA’s.” They are automatic adjustments to wages
each year that takes into account the rate of inflation.
