Inflation propagates unevenly
You have dollars and you have cheeseburgers. People exchange dollars for cheeseburgers. If you suddenly increase the number of available cheeseburgers, eventually the market will correct and you&#x27;ll get more cheeseburger per dollar. Most people accept this, but tell them if you increase the number of dollars but leave cheeseburger production the same, you&#x27;ll need more dollars to get the same amount of cheeseburgers as you did previously, and they insist this isn&#x27;t true. As a bonus you can replace cheeseburgers with labor and they will say &quot;lump of labor fallacy&quot;.<p>Inflation would probably happen more evenly if we got over these economic myths we have invented for ourselves.
