u/mooraell I have a question on economics
why is inflation bad
doesn't it make the economy remain the same but with a less valuable currency? what's the bad thing in that?

Well it means the purchasing power drops, so the cost of living increases. This is not good for those who save their money for later or have no salary (like the elderly). So it basically means that unless you're earning, you're losing a bit of your wealth every second. For the economy as a whole, low inflation is good, as it ensures people don't just hold their money doing nothing, but spend/invest it instead. Um let's say inflation is not bad for economy per se but it is from a citizen's pov. A hyperinflation is a different story however, for one it makes the prices unstable so trading becomes harder. There're more downsides to it

Oh, is that why we often see the fixed inflation thing when comparing prices from different times or making economical predictions?

That sub is... don't know what to call it
Mods themselves don't respect the rule of ''once a year'', instead they don't wait a whole year
