Macro Economy: Inflation

Have you bought the Get Started Investing book? If you have, thank you! But the real question is... has it arrived yet? Cause chances are, probably not... Aside from it being endlessly frustrating that Australia Post is being so slow, Bryce and Alec talk about how your online shopping order not arriving for a couple of days (which feels like a first world problem) is actually symptomatic of a larger issue, with freight earnings climbing to their highest peak since 2008. They talk about whether this is going to effect inflation, and what impact it will have on your investing.

Inflation. It's a term you've most likely heard at some point during your investing journey, and one that you need to understand. Given what is going on at the moment, with governments and central banks printing money, we thought it's a good time to unpack inflation to understand how it impacts us as investors.
