This week we are looking at the concept of inflation, how it is calculated and how it affects people. This is an especially interesting time in US history to consider this issue since inflation is currently at such a high rate. This week you should do a little digging and make your forum post on one of these issues:

A. What are the causes of the inflation that has been affecting the US economy in 2022 and now in 2023? There may be differing opinions on this so be sure and share your sources.

B. Is the current inflation that is affecting the US unique to our country? Find and share an article about what is happening in another country.

C. Who is suffering the most due to the current inflation rate of 6.5% and last years 8.3%? Find and share an article about the negative impact of high inflation.

D. Is there anyone who is benefiting from inflation? This may be a particular industry or a particular group of people. Find and share an article about the winners.

There can be more than one post per topic but you can not share the same article as the other person who wrote about that topic. You can also share news videos instead of articles if you prefer. The Economist magazine does a lot of short news videos that are available on YouTube.
