Inflation is how fast average prices change over time. If inflation is 5%, a basket that cost 100 last year costs about 105 this year.

Lines show yearly % changes. Above zero means prices rise; below zero is deflation. Bubbles scale with the absolute rate in the selected year.

At r% inflation, prices roughly double in 72 / r years. Example: at 6%, about 12 years.
