| Inflation tax cannot be confused with inflation according to the original definition. It's a more-or-less intended result of inflation. I think the article is clear enough. --] 02:00, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC) | Inflation tax cannot be confused with inflation according to the original definition.

Just copied stuff from Hyperinflation, please feel free to expand (perhaps with direct printing of money for gov'mt use?)
- Just done that. Examples would be nice. Argentina looks like a prime candidate... --Pablo D. Flores 15:37, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The definition was wrong. It was a definition of 'inflation' rather than 'inflation tax'.
There is a difference.

The definition I gave may have been incorrectly phrased, or restrictive, but it was not incorrect. The one you gave was not clear at all. Note also that the original article (not by me) was text copied from another article, Hyperinflation, which is quite well researched and extensive.
References:
- An article about optimal inflation:
- A short definition (somewhat different, but probably less inclusive):
- A study guide with an overview of inflation (restrictive - defines inflation tax as the government revenue produced by creating money):
