Commentary

Interventionists always blame inflation on everything and anything except the only thing that makes aggregate prices rise: issuing more units of currency than the real demand. Seller inflation is the same excuse and fallacy as cost-push inflation. A way to confuse citizens and assign causation to something that cannot make aggregate prices rise.
