Pricing Power : The phenomenon where the value of money falls below the price of goods is called inflation , and it is said we are currently in an era of inflation. However, it’s not that simple. Inflation is realistically characterized by prices not rising all at once during an inflationary period but rather increasing rapidly for some items and slowly for others over several years. This phenomenon is known as the ‘ Cantillon Effect .’ In other words, inflation is neither uniform nor regular. Conversely, when prices fall below the value of money, it is referred to as deflation . To survive deflation, companies must innovate, often by reducing costs and expenses. During inflation, rising costs must be passed on to other economic agents through increased prices, a concept known as Pricing Power. Since companies cannot pass on all the rising costs, many go bankrupt during periods of inflation. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
As a result, it is easy to justify a motive or process. Consequently, individuals who distort motives or processes excel at rationalizing their own mistakes and often misrepresent and belittle the original intentions of others. Such a person is adept at criticizing others, lamenting poor outcomes, and frequently exposing an underlying greed for regret . This individual effectively repels assistance from those around them, yet wonders why many betray him or her and depart. They also attempt to overlook the presence of greed at the core of their actions. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
