This ability may originate from the access of\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003ea person\/party to money in usual sense (e.g. dollars, pounds) but also via force, social norms, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003emutual negotiation, altruism, trust or due to human biological characteristics. As the ability to obtain goods and services from others depends on the context -- what functions as money in a time and place may not function as money in another time and place -- as such money has no universal type or representation. The book explains inflation as the increased need to acquire money, that is the need to employ more physical and mental labour to create the ability to obtaina wide range of goods and services. This book provides an explanation of the post covid price hike and the cost of living crisis by taking this new theory into consideration, which will be of interest to academics, researchers, policy makers and students studying finance, monetary economics and inflation. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mehdi Chowdhury\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3031523555\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031523557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.38d","brand":"Mehdi Chowdhury","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46094274494719,"sku":"9783031523557","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af171f61-93f3-48c9-bf7d-601b90ccc5f8.jpg?v=1724844196","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/money-and-inflation-mehdi-chowdhury-9783031523557","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
