Certainly SOME inflation would happen if &quot;all people get more money&quot;, but a thought on that, since it seems to be more subtle than that:<p>I&#x27;d imagine that we&#x27;d already SEE that inflation, motivated through e.g. SNAP instead of UBI.  There&#x27;s an optimization curve that producers are fitting; and if the lower segments of the economy have more money to spend, that curve would probably lift some, but to lift sufficiently as to preclude such a significant market segment I imagine would be self defeating.<p>That being said; I only feel that intuition for goods that can readily market to the poorest market segments with profit.  For goods that already require jobbing (mid-high end luxury goods as an easy example), if UBI was on top of that, I imagine you&#x27;d certainly see inflation in those domains, unless enough people stopped working entirely to fall into the UBI-only market segment.  I&#x27;d be curious to hear what someone with any real economics background (not I) has to say on this, since I can only reason about it on a very first-order level.
