This document defines inflation as a sharp upward movement in price levels according to R.P Kent, and as too much money chasing too few goods according to W. Acolborn. It also notes that inflation means an increase in prices of common goods due to an increase in money circulation. The document discusses two types of inflation: demand-pull inflation, which occurs when increasing demand for goods and services brings inflation; and cost-push inflation, which occurs when an increase in the cost of production goods is a major factor leading to inflation. The document notes several effects of inflation such as currency depreciation against other countries, declining exports and increasing imports and poverty.
