Demand-Pull Inflation

Discipline: Economics

Outlined by English economist John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) in his 1940 book How to Pay for the War, demand pull inflation describes a rise in prices that occurs due to increasing demand.

When aggregate demand in the market increases, too much money chases too few goods, and the prices increase.
