Greedflation

Used in place of the word ‘inflation’ by individuals who do not understand macroeconomic principles. Alleges that prices rise due to greedy corporate leaders rather than excessive additions to the money supply.

Uneducated individual: “Wow man, egg prices went up again. I’m tired of all this greedflation!

College graduate: “Are you sure it’s due to corporate greed and not the 5 trillion dollars we added to the money supply recently?”
