The symptom of inflation is the general increase in price of everything.

Inflation is growth in the monetary supply.

(Also velocity of money but that I'd never discussed, let alone measured.)

Inflation is not growth in the money supply, money supply is one way that inflation can occur, but the basis of inflation is the increase in nominal costs of everyday prices.

Inflation is not growth in the money supply,

It is caused by this.

money supply is one way that inflation can occur,

And the other is a reduction in quantity of goods and services.

but the basis of inflation is the increase in nominal costs of everyday prices.

No, that is the result of inflation, not the basis (reason).

It is caused by this

And supply shock, and wage growth, and tons of other things. You literally said "inflation is an increase in the money supply"

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

Again, you are giving examples of price changes in specific goods, not inflation.

Supply shock - is specific to the asset experiencing the shock. This is not inflation.

Wage growth - the specific asset here is human capital.

Inflation is when all prices increase, or equivalently, when the buying power of the fiat currency reduces. I.e. when more money exists than there was before.
