Inflation and Poverty
Recently Bharat won world cup. I had a comparison.
We have also won it in 1983. The total prizes won by team were Rs.1.33 Million (13 lakh 30 Thousand)
In 2011 after 28 years it is more than 100 times that Rs.145 million (14 Crore 50 lakh)
When I asked my mother, she answered that 28 years back the value of 13.3 lakhs was same as 14.5 crores.
I see many people recounting that they have eaten a particular dish at 10 Paise!
So the important question that I want to ask you is
1.What are the probable reasons of rising inflation?
2.Does it indicate an upward or progressing trend in economy?
