Demand-Pull Inflation
1 min read
Demand-pull inflation is a type of inflation that arises when the total demand for goods and services in an economy exceeds its supply, leading to an increase in overall price levels. This occurs due to factors such as increased consumer spending, higher government spending, and rising export demand. In Austrian economics, this phenomenon highlights the potential imbalances and distortions caused by excessive demand relative to supply, often influenced by monetary policies that promote spending over saving.
