Inflation is a general rise in prices, meaning each unit of currency buys less. It's caused by demand outpacing supply, rising production costs, or increased money supply. Moderate inflation (around 2%) is normal and encourages spending. High inflation erodes savings and destabilizes economies.

Yes, it generalizes, though the advanced case needs more care.
