Inflation is a term that is often thrown around in discussions about economics and finance, but many people don’t fully understand what it means or how it is caused. However, economist Ben Shapiro recently broke down the causes of inflation in a clear and concise way, providing important insights into the phenomenon.

According to Shapiro, inflation is essentially an increase in the price of goods and services over time. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including changes in the money supply, changes in demand for goods and services, and changes in the cost of production.

One major cause of inflation is changes in the money supply. When governments print more money or increase the supply of credit, there is more money in circulation, which can lead to higher prices. This is because the increased supply of money makes it easier for people to buy goods and services, which can push up demand and drive prices higher.

Another factor that can contribute to inflation is changes in demand. For example, if there is a sudden increase in demand for a particular product, the price of that product may rise. This can happen for a variety of reasons, such as changes in consumer preferences, changes in the economy, or changes in technology.

Finally, inflation can also be caused by changes in the cost of production. When the cost of producing goods and services goes up, producers may be forced to raise their prices to maintain their profit margins. This can happen due to a variety of factors, such as changes in the cost of raw materials, changes in labor costs, or changes in government regulations.

Understanding the causes of inflation is important for individuals and businesses alike, as it can have a significant impact on the economy as a whole. When prices rise too quickly, it can lead to a decrease in consumer spending, which can slow down economic growth. On the other hand, when prices are too low, it can lead to deflation, which can also have negative impacts on the economy.

In conclusion, Shapiro’s breakdown of the causes of inflation provides valuable insights into this important economic phenomenon. By understanding the factors that can contribute to inflation, individuals and businesses can better navigate the economic landscape and make informed decisions about their finances.

    My portfolio has good companies, however it has been stalling this year. With the present inflation and dollar devaluation I just got my money out of the bank, I invested some in gold and silver and I’ve approximately $700k stagnant in my reserve that needs growth, any suggestions to grow my portfolio will be highly appreciated.

    This is the obvious. But the deeper aberration is governments, or humans are greedy. This is created deliberately not because of present time circumstances they just need a reason and they go for it. Read the way to happiness. Thanks for the video.

    People who live off of or work for the government shouldn’t be allowed to vote . Conflict of interest .Already state employees who work for the lottery can’t claim prizes for the same reason. People on welfare or government employees are going to vote to enrich themselves , not look out for the best interests of the country. Look at Chicago’s new Mayor and see living proof ! Street cops are earning more than brain surgeons….and retire with more while still in their 40’s- 50’s .

    I remember Biden pushing monthly payments for every kid you have . People with a lot of kids would be making more than their jobs paid ! All Bidens plans do is make life impossible
    for those people who don't qualify for his schemes at all . Those tend to be MAGA people so that's OK

    I can sum up the cause of inflation in just a few words,The Biden Administration.

  6. Michael De Ieso

    Great explanation but why so partisan? Why was trumps name left out of culpability and only Biden was presented as at fault? Both governments are at fault, and Ben said the problem started March 2020 which was 10 months before biden gained power, is there nothing to be said about trump’s influence on the inflation issue? Seems a little bias.

  7. Marco Antico

    You're missing the biggest cause of inflation which is the price elasticity of demand. Consumer behavior has changed. People are now more willing to go in debt and spend more of their discretionary income then ever before. Companies recognize that demand for their products have become more inelastic and have exploited this with their price increases. Increasing interest rates or curbing government spending do not the root cause and may actually be creating even more unnecessary hardship.

    Inflation is greed.

    Ben Shapiro, the spin, master, got it very wrong when he implied that Europe has no inflation. The truth is inflation is a worldwide problem, and the rate of inflation in the United States, is lower than most other countries in the world, but it is not politically expeditious for Ben Shapiro to admit that. Ben Shapiro would have you believe that the national debt didn’t start increasing until 2021 (under Biden), when in fact, Donald Trump increase the national debt by almost $9 trillion in four short years. Ben Shapiro doesn’t want you to remember that. Here we go again with Ben Shapiro, claiming that inflation is not a worldwide problem, when it is, and our rate of inflation is lower than most of the other countries in the world. Ben Shapiro will never admit that the problem is not overspending, the problem is under taxing. When Trump passed his tax reform act in December 2017, he drastically lowered the corporate tax rate, and he drastically lowered the tax rate for the millionaires, the multimillionaires, the billionaires in the trillionaire‘s oh, and he kept the carried interest provision built especially for the Uber rich.

    I don’t get the overspending part… how does the national debt increase the price of food at the grocery store? Because they raise the taxes to pay for it? I don’t see the connection. Oh, and you forgot to mention wealth inequality… since there are so many people who can afford to pay more, I believe that is why they are raising prices. Ties into Fed category given that people made more money in real estate and had more buying power but it made the poor get poorer.

    Interesting , the stock market is currently experiencing a decline while bond yields are on the rise. However, there seems to be skepticism amongst investors regarding the Federal Reserve's plan to continue increasing interest rates until inflation is stabilized. As for myself, I find myself at a crossroads, uncertain whether to liquidate my $250,000 stock portfolio. I'm seeking advice on the best strategy to capitalize on this current bear market.

    Hey Ben, would you ever visit China as a tourist ?

  13. Rough  Habit

    Garbage. When SOME prices rise due to supply shortages etc , this is not inflation. Inflation is when ALL prices rise due to the currency being devalued by over printing.
    When you’re used to hearing Milton Friedman tell the pencil story, it just sounds so crass coming from Shapiro.

    what a buffoon. this is an ignorant child's view of the world.

  15. Patricia Carlos

    I feel sad that even though I am investing, I don't have the brain power to dig through how each company is doing, is this a good time to buy stocks or not, my reserve of $450K is laying waste to inflation and I don't know what to do at this point tbh, I need solid data on market trajectory

  16. CONSMILITIA

    "Inflation" is strictly a currency phenomenon. The rise in prices indicates the devaluation of the currency. The use of fiat currency amounts to the unlimited power to tax and confiscate wealth in a way that most people simply cannot understand. This is why the Constitution restricts government officials to using silver and gold only in all governmental fiscal transactions.

    4:31 "if this were just a supply chain issue you'd expect to see it in Europe too and it's not" – As someone in Europe I am very puzzled by that statement. (Because it's not true!)

  18. Uriah625

    If Ben could see the future, which is today…..
    He’d see that inflation is not just happening in the states. It’s country after country.

    I would add this. Not only did people have more money, but had to spend it on goods rather than memories. Which created more demand against the strained supply chain. For example. Rather than a family spending the stimulus money on a vacation to say a theme park, due to closures, they bought a 4-wheeler. So rather than one person looking to buy that 4-wheeler, you might have had 5.

    It’s about the banks and corporations trying to get the fed to get interest rate higher than inflation so their money is still good. This is a Democratic Party issue not pushing back. People my get to save $3 on their chicken, but are getting hammered on their house loan. It’s a cover for the banks and it’s a joke.

  23. katmore9

    This was a solid explanation, Ben. Thank you. I'm just questioning one thing: wouldn't the massive overspending by the government have to at least match or supersede the money made in the jobs they lost or the small businesses that were shut down? Or is it just the payments themselves that led to inflation regardless of the job or business losses? (If anyone can explain that, I'd be appreciative.)
