Inflation : Joe of the playground has a rare candy that everyone on the playground wants. So he decided to trade it to get more candy.
Joe trades Sally two normal candies for one of his rare candy. So joe did that until he got 100 candies. At that point Joe dose not have as much need for candy. So he started asking people for five candies for his one rare one.
Now sitting on a pile of 500 candies Joe now dose not see the value in trading 1 rare candy for 5 normal candy. He starts asking the playground for 50 candies for his one rare candy.

Interset: Daniel wants a apple, but dose not have one today. However Steve has danniels favourite type of apple. So Daniel ask Steve to have his Apple.
