So many fools, too few lightening strikes:

When a government or central bank creates additional money through fiat means, it creates inflation. The real definition of inflation is an increase in the supply of money beyond any increase in specie. By its very definition, it attributes the real cause of inflation to its root source which is expansion of the supply of money and credit through artificial means. Its real cause is an act of fraudulent intervention into the financial and economic system distorting values, investments, and in the process, the distribution pattern of wealth and income within the economy.

It's the printing presses!

An understanding of the real cause of inflation is crucial to an understanding of fixing it once it reappears. Most economists and analysts misdiagnose inflation. The standard definition of inflation today adopted by economists, analysts on Wall Street and the mainstream press is that inflation is an increase in prices. The modern definition of inflation as simply rising prices looks more at the symptoms of inflation and not the cause.
