Understanding Inflation: What It Really Means 📈

Everyone feels inflation — at the grocery store, at the gas pump, in their rent. But what is inflation, really?

It isn’t just numbers on a government chart. Inflation is the slow erosion of your money’s value — a hidden tax, a political weapon, and one of the oldest tricks in the financial system. Rome debased its silver denarius. Weimar Germany printed marks until they were worthless. In the 1970s, oil shocks and money printing crushed American wages. Latin America’s “lost decades” saw savings wiped out in a month. And today, after trillions in pandemic stimulus, the same patterns are repeating.

This video uncovers the real story of inflation: how governments and banks use it to survive debt, how it silently transfers wealth from savers to borrowers, and why it always reshuffles society. Inflation is not an accident — it’s the system itself. And if you don’t understand it, you’ll be the one paying the price.
