It means that the reference dates for the annual inflation are January to January of two consecutive years. This is similar for even weekly inflation.

Types of Inflation: Broadly there are 2 types of inflation.
(a) Demand - Pull Inflation:

A mismatch between demand & supply pulls up the price.Either demand increases over the same level of supply or the supply decreases the same level of demand.This is Keynesian idea.

An increase factor input costs (i.e. wage & raw materials) push up the prices.A price rise which is the result of the increase in the production cost is cost - push inflation.

A measure of check inflation:-

Hi friends,           :Its real confession from heart: Today i wanna talk about a DTC bus depot-Bawana Depot.This place is totally ridiculous and i am promising myself that i will try not to go that hell place.I am criticizing that place after seeing the Bawana Depot and their lazy and rude workers.I have to go there for issuing DTC bus pass after some months but those people are totally stupids,idiots,arrogant (in Hindi totally chootiya).

Those people are never looked like a government workers and they ar

Why is Facebook banned in China?

By
Facebook has banned in China because Mark Zuckerberg, CEO, Facebook posted his picture on his Social Media while he was Jogging in soggy Beijing. I came to know about this when I was reading about the Facebook Business Model in Marketing Management: Indian Cases, a book contains case studies of various Businesses. One of his posts caused a ban on Facebook in China. This post showed China and it's Capital in a disparaging light. This portrayal would create a negative image of China and its environmental policies. Further, because it was a Western who was seen jogging in the Smog-filled environment, it created a complicit negative comparison between China's and the Western World's Living. Finally, Zuckerberg was seen as an Outsider with no moral authority to comment on another Sovereign nation. And this, China has further tightened their restrictions on internet freedom in terms of Rules and Regulations in China. Later, the CEO of Facebook proposed providing a localized versi
