Why do Governments and economists worry about inflation?

Inflation is a general and sustained rise in the level of prices over two financial quarters in an economy. The government is worried about inflation because it has negative repercussions on its ability to achieve its macro- economic objectives. For example, inflation could result in higher unemployment. Firms seek to cut costs during a period of inflation and could lay off workers.

How does inflation affect farmers?

Effects of inflation on Farmers:The price of farm products goes up faster than costs. Costs lag behind prices of product received by the farmers. It has been observed in India that inflationary tendencies during war and post-war periods have helped farmers in paying off their old debts. Moreover, farmers are generally debtors and have to pay less in real terms, while the land revenue, taxes, etc., do not rise much. Thus farmers generally gain during the periods of inflation.


What would 1 million in 1930 be worth today?

In 1930, dollars were backed by gold. You could take a $20 paper dollar and receive from the US> Treasury a $20 gold piece. If you were smart enough to do that, you would have 50,000 twenty $ gold pieces today. That would be worth exactly $68,392,575.00 today. (that's 48,375 troy ounces @ $1412.00 spot price as of tonight-Dec 5) That is the Bullion value, collector value of the coins aside. Now if you want to use the inflation factor to determine value, you must depend on government figures. That can be a problem. They change how they determine the consumer price index often as well as calbrating "inflation" We have no inflation now according to the government. Looked at gas, food, medical care prices lately?? Or I forgot, they don't count those things. Hope this helped.

Can creditors still ask for money if you are already bankrupt?

yes because they have no souls Gee, I would think the one that doesn't honor their legal obligations and personally sworn promises to pay back what they asked someone to lend them, and instead keep the benefits while hurting others that helped them are closer to souless. But, also wrong about the above, is once you file BK all collection actions by creditors must stop. If there are any, tell your adminstrator/court.
