SMI releases new FREE inflation report

Most people think of "inflation" simply as an economic condition when lots of prices go up. Well, that's part of the picture. But why do prices go up?

It's not because things are suddenly worth more. Instead, inflation is rooted in the supply of money available.

When too much money begins to circulate (i.e., an imbalance is created between available money and available assets), the value of money is lessened. So prices go up because the money used to make purchases is worth less than before.

All this economic theory can be a bit confusing, but it's important to understand, given that current conditions seem ripe for creating inflationary pressure that could affect your future finances.

To help you gain a clear understanding of the forces that cause inflation, SMI's founder and publisher Austin Pryor has written an easy-to-read guide that explains the connection between excessive money creation and the rising cost of living.

We're making this new 22-page special report available free! To request Inflation History: The Rise and Fall of the U.S. Dollar (in PDF), simply go here and let us know you want a copy.
