INFLATIONARY PSYCHOLOGY
State of mind which drives consumers to spend more quickly in the belief prices are increasing. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy because the velocity of money rises, which hypes inflation, when consumers spend more and save less. Inflationary psychology can negatively affect the economy. As a result, inflation spike may press a country’s central bank to increase interest rates, putting brakes on the economy. Some central banks are always vigilant about its development. The US Federal Reserve had successfully countered high inflation in 1970s and 1980s.
