It is a matter of common observation that although money incomes keep going up over the years, we
never seem to become much better off! Prices are rising continuously . This condition is termed one of
INFLATION; the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. ( We
have grown accustomed in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation. What could be bought
twenty years ago for $1 now costs well over $2. Present indications are that this rate of inflation is
tending to rise rather than to fall). If inthe real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices
one might think that inflation does not matter. But it does. When money is losing value it lacks one of
the qualities of a good money- stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value: and it
becomes an unsuitable standard of deferred payments. Nobody wants to hold a wasting asset, so people
try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates consumer spending, and
deters saving.
1. Inflation is a situation in which
a. we can watch our money grow b. everyone’s income rises. c. money constantly loses its value
2. The writer makes the point that if incomes and prices rise together.
a. inflation is no longer a problem b. inflation may still be a problem
c. we have nothing to worry about
3. When money loses its value.
a. it is no longer atable b. incomes always rise c. goods lose their value, too
4. Under inflation, people tend to
a. save money b. hold on to money as an asset c. spend money and not bother to save
