Inflation by Decade |
|
| Updated March 2008 The Chart to the right shows the Annual Inflation Rates for each decade. Each bar represents the average Annual Inflation for the decade (not the total cumulative inflation for that 10 year period ). That means that we took the annual inflation rates for each of the ten years of the decade and then averaged them all together. It is interesting to note that the inflation for the "teens" decade was the highest at 8.70% and the 70's were close on their heels at 7.09% while the 20's have virtually Zero inflation. The decade of the 30's showed negative inflation or true deflation where prices actually declined on an annual basis. It isn't hard to figure out that prices were falling during the depression (the 30's). Note that the most prosperous decades were those of low inflation like the roaring twenties, the fabulous fifties, and the nineties. Both the 20s and the 90s culminated in a stock market crash while the decade with deflation is known for the poverty they included. Interestingly, deflation doesn't always equal depression. A truly healthy economy with increasing productivity and no increase in money supply will result in lower consumer prices and even more wealth to go around. Click Here for information on Gasoline
