Why Governments Like a Little INFLATION
About this video
Governments often talk about fighting inflation hard — then quietly aim for a little of it every year. Mild inflation erodes the real value of old public debt and softens wage bargaining in ways deflation never does. We walk through why 2% became the conventional target, who gains from slowly rising prices, and why zero inflation is not the "safe" default many people assume. Educational economics — not investment advice. #inflation #economics #debt
