...every time the money supply is increased. The cause of inflation is that our money is losing its value because of the increased supply and that causes prices to go up. Prices going up is the effect of inflation not the cause.

Here's an example. Imagine if Babe Ruth's rookie card were worth $1-million. One day I'm digging in my back yard, and I find a box filled with 1 million Babe Ruth rookie cards. The cards are only worth money because there are so few of them; however once I've added 1 million cards to the market they'll be worth significantly less.

Since prices have gone up because our money has been devalued, businesses like Tor have to decide how to sell us a product that we're still willing to pay for while they can still pay all there bills. Doubling the price wouldn't work because most people won't pay that much for a paperback book, so they have to produce the book cheaper. Cheaper paper, cheaper glue etc. etc.

Hope I didn't bore everyone too much, but if your going to get mad, get mad at the people who deserve your anger. The politicians who are devaluing our money.
