Why/How has the cost of living increased over time? Particularly in the US.

It seems like everything is always going up in price. Is that because of corporate monopolies or something? Do costs of living get higher as a society becomes more industrialized/advanced?

Inflation is controlled by the government. If a government doesn’t want inflation, then, there won’t be an inflation.

Governments do inflation as a semi-hidden tax.

They raise the inflation to make sure working people lives below a standard, can’t make savings and be richer. At the same time, inflation reduces the debt of corporations and companies.

Some economists will tell you as if inflation is something that is naturally occurring. This is a lie. There is no “natural inflation”. Inflation is a decision that governments make. A decision at the expense of working people and in favor of rich people.
