Does inflation have anything to do with making a dollar today worth more than a dollar tomorrow?

Of course it does. Inflation is the devaluing of money over time. It is always displayed as a percentage. For instance, inflation (usually measured as the Consumer Price Index) one year might be 3%. That means that a dollar in the current year would be worth $1.03 the year before. The saying is kind of misleading though. Inflation usually happens so slowly that a single dollar will not be actually worth less after a single day. Take the rate of inflation for the US since 1968, 519%. Divide that by the number of years since 1968 (40), it comes to 12.975%. Divide that by 365... it comes to .03%. So a dollar tomorrow is only worth .03% more than a dollar today if you apply the 40-year historical average (it is actually different because inflation right now is not 12.975%).

While inflation makes one dollar today worth more than a dollar tomorrow, it (inflation) is not the only reason for that. Even if inflation is 0%, a dollar today is still worth more than a dollar tomorrow, for a couple of reasons like

1. if you can buy something today, you can enjoy it (one day) more than if you had bought it the next day

2. by investing a dollar today, you can earn interest, increasing the value of the dollar (in the US, the Fed does manage money supply and interest rates, so there will be some correlation between changes in inflation and changes in interest rates)

3. Perhaps, we will not be able to enjoy the worth of the dollar tomorrow.

What is real GDP and GDP percapital?

Real GDP is Gross Domestic Product (A measure of the value of all things produced as marketable goods and services in a country in a given amount of time, normally a year) adjusted for indepent factors, such as inflation, that alter GDP. When economists compare GDP between years, they may look at real GDP to take a very accurate meausre of growth.

GDP per capita (not GDP percapital, as there is no such thing) is a measure of the average individual's input to the GDP. For example, Venezuela, a country of 29,000,000 in population, had a GDP of approxamately 382 billion USD. Its GDP per capita was therefore 13,200 USD, which means that the average resident of Venezuela contributed 13,200 USD to the GDP of Venezuela. The formula for GDP per capita is

(GDP per capita)=(GDP)/(Population)

What cuased food inflation during Gowon regime in Nigeria?

Food inflation during General Yakubu Gowon's regime in Nigeria was primarily caused by several factors, including the effects of the Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970), which disrupted agricultural production and supply chains. Additionally, government policies, such as the emphasis on cash crops over food crops, contributed to food scarcity. Economic mismanagement and rising costs of inputs, coupled with inflationary pressures, further exacerbated the situation, leading to increased food prices.

Is it any good service or activity which does not eventually exhibit diminishing marginal utility per unit of time?

When the phrase 'insatiable appetite' is used to refer to any activity, and we are reasonable confident that it is relevant and applicable to that activity, then we could begin a critical investigation of whether the law applies to it or not. One activity that immediately comes to mind is the longer term quest that scientists, academics, researchers or simply, nerds demonstrate consistently is an 'Insatiable Appetite' for knowledge or information, over a long term. There cannot be any diminishing utility for such persons to the pursuit of knowledge. Pursuit of Knowledge, as an activity therefore presents a situation for some of us, where diminishing marginal utility may not apply. Sabdezar Ilahi
