   Inflation
   Put simply, inflation is the general increase of prices and subsequent fall in purchasing power of money. The cycle of price inflation starts when production costs increase for the same level of production which results in an increase in the product price. This leads to a reduction of purchasing power which in turn, leads to higher wage demands, and therefore, higher production costs.
