In economics, '''inflation''' is a general rise in the price of [[goods]] and services in relation to purchasing power. Inflation is not caused by [[global warming]] or any natural phenomena. Inflation is caused directly by the people whom voters elect to office. It is intended to rob workers of their wealth and to discourage savings, investment, and [[capital]] accumulation. Inflation creates panic buying, as workers spend their paychecks quickly before their money loses any more value.

Prices tend to go up when demand from consumers exceeds the normal capacity of producers to supply goods and services. An [[supply and demand|excess supply of goods and services]] tends to put downward pressure on prices.
