Finally falling prices? What the four causes of inflation teach us

When severe pain subsides, sometimes the relief outweighs the real improvement. This also seems to be the case at the moment with regard to the easing of inflation.

That cannot be said with certainty. But one can come closer to an answer by looking more closely at the various causes of inflation.
