Milton Friedman Quote
Five simple truths embody most of what we know about inflation: Inflation is a monetary phenomenon arising from a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output (though, of course, the reasons for the increase in money may be various). In today’s world government determines—or can determine—the quantity of money. There is only one cure for inflation: a slower rate of increase in the quantity of money. It takes time—measured in years, not months—for inflation to develop; it takes time for inflation to be cured. Unpleasant side effects of the cure are unavoidable.
