About the Book

Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Economics - Economic Cycle and Growth, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Hof, language: English, abstract: The understanding of the cause and effects of inflation is crucial to understanding its impact on society throughout history. Inflation was a main cause for empires to fall. By lowering the metal content of the coin or nowadays with the issuance of an ever increasing amount of "paper currencies" backed by "nothing", a debasement of the currency was and is a direct consequence.

From the 1940s through to the present day, the prevailing definition of inflation significantly varies from the historic definition. The standard definition of inflation today adopted by economists and the mainstream press is that inflation is an increase in prices. This change of the meaning of the term inflation is by no means harmless since it paved the way towards inflationism. As we will see later on in this study, inflation has been prevailing in the industrialized countries since World War I and has been exacerbated by the complete demonetisation of gold in 1971 as President Nixon closed the "Gold window". By focusing on the term inflation I will rely on the historic and the Austrian economic definition due to its longer period in use and its higher accur
