 Inflation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inflation, from this perspective, is seen as the market expression of what the time value of money is. That is, if a dollar today is worth more to someone than a dollar a year from now, then there should be a discount in the economy as a whole for dollars in the future.
General inflation is caused by a fall in the market value or purchasing power of money within an economy, as compared to currency devaluation which is the fall of the market value of a currency between economies.
Surveys on inflation consistently show a divergence of opinion between mainstream economists and the public on the damage caused by moderate inflation: While the public continue to treat the harm as severe, most monetary economists tend to see it as slight, with many saying it does no harm at all.

 FRBSF: Economic Letter - The New Output-Inflation Trade-off (2/6/98)
If countries have similar economic structures, have faced similar disturbances, and have operated on the efficient frontier, but have differed in the choices policymakers have made between output and inflation stability, then historical patterns of different countries would provide evidence on the output and inflation variability trade-off.
Unlike the short-run trade-off between the level of output or unemployment and the level of the inflation rate that was a focus of earlier policy debates, the new emphasis is on the choice between the variability of output and the variability of inflation.
Using such a rule for determining the funds rate, together with particular values for how much the funds rate is adjusted as inflation and the output gap change, the implied variability of inflation and output can be determined.
