Because money's value is based on its scarcity but government has the power to print (that is create) new money. And they have used that power to print new money for themselves. When it gets into circulation it inevitably drives up the price of everything. If money was linked to gold or silver then it would be impossible to arbitrarily create new money and its value would tend to be steady or actually increase over time.

How much would 400 pound a year be worth today?
To determine how much £400 a year would be worth today, we need to consider the effects of inflation over the years. The value of money decreases over time due to inflation, so £400 from a previous year is worth less today. For an accurate calculation, you would need to specify the year in which the £400 was considered and use an inflation calculator or historical inflation rates to find its present value.
Would a dollar tomorrow be worth more to you today when the interest rate is 20 percent or 10 percent?
A dollar tomorrow would be worth more to you today when the interest rate is 10 percent compared to 20 percent. This is because a lower interest rate results in a smaller discounting effect, making the present value of that future dollar higher. At 10 percent, the future value is discounted less, meaning it retains more of its worth in today's terms. Conversely, at 20 percent, the dollar's present value decreases more significantly, making it less valuable today.
What would 10 dollars be worth today if invested 100 years ago?
If you invested $10 100 years ago, its worth today would depend on the average annual return of the investment. For example, if it were invested in the stock market, which has historically returned about 7-10% annually after inflation, that $10 could grow to anywhere between approximately $1,500 to $50,000 today, depending on the specific investment vehicle and the exact time frame. However, considering inflation, the purchasing power of that $10 would be significantly lower today. Thus, while the nominal value would be much higher, the real value in terms of goods and services would be less impressive.
