What are the primary causes of inflation?
In an economy with too much money (the money supply), the currency value decreases when the total amount of money increases.
Prices of goods/services increase (price inflation) when the money supply increases (monetary inflation) over a longer period of time.
Economists disagree on the causes over shorter periods of time.
