The rise in prices (inflation) is caused by government overspending, which increases the amount of money faster than the increase in goods & services output.

That is the vast majority of the problem.

Inflation was particularly bad during the Covid years, as there was massive government spending, despite productivity plunging, as people were forced to stay home.

This is further exacerbated by excess regulation, which prevents the market from solving an unmet need (eg housing in high-demand areas).

Occasionally, there is monopolistic behavior by companies, but this is relatively rare and usually only possible if those companies have gained control of their industry regulator. Again, a government, not private sector, problem.

价格上涨(通货膨胀)是由于政府支出过多造成的,导致货币数量的增长速度快于商品和服务产出的增长速度。

这就是问题的绝大部分。

在新冠疫情期间,通货膨胀尤其严重,因为尽管人们被迫待在家里,导致生产力下降,但政府仍大量支出。

过度监管进一步加剧了这种情况,导致市场无法解决未满足的需求(例如高需求地区的住房)。

偶尔,企业也会有垄断行为,但这种情况相对罕见,而且通常只有这些企业控制了行业监管机构才有可能。同样,这是政府而非私营部门的问题。
