Everything is Inflated

The Economist, via Freakonomics, is reporting on a trend that many of us have been grumbling about for some time: inflation. Servings are bigger, clothes are bigger, evaluations are bigger, and on and on.

When everything from grades to clothing sizes are inflated in the name of avoiding harsh realities, information is compromised.

They are calling this phenomenon 'panflation'.

Ironically, in these depressed economic times the only thing that is not inflating out of control is money.
