rates. Concepts include: deflation, a general falling level of prices;

disinflation, the reduction of the rate of inflation; hyper-inflation,

an out-of-control inflationary spiral; stagflation, a combination ofinflation and poor economic growth; and reflation, which is an

attempt to raise prices to counteract deflationary pressures.
