'''Cost-push inflation''' is a type of [[inflation]] caused by substantial increases in the cost of important [[goods (economics)|goods]] or services where no suitable alternative is available. A situation that has been often cited of this was the [[1973 oil crisis|oil crisis]] of the 1970s, which some economists see as a major cause of the inflation experienced in the [[Western world]] in that decade. It is argued that this inflation resulted from increases in the cost of [[petroleum]] imposed by the member states of [[OPEC]]. Since petroleum is so important to industrialised economies, a large increase in its price can lead to the increase in the price of most products, raising the [[inflation rate]]. This can raise the normal or [[built-in inflation]] rate, reflecting [[adaptive expectations]] and the [[price/wage spiral]], so that a [[supply shock]] can have persistent effects.
 
[[Keynesians]] argue that in a modern industrial economy, many prices are ''sticky downward'' or ''downward inflexible'', so that instead of prices for non-oil-related goods falling in this story, a supply shock would cause a [[recession]], i.e., rising [[unemployment]] and falling [[gross domestic product]]. It is the costs of such a recession that likely causes governments and central banks to allow a supply shock to result in inflation.
They also note that though there was no deflation in the 1980s, there was a definite fall in the inflation rate during this period. Actual deflation was prevented because supply shocks are not the only cause of inflation; in terms of the modern [[triangle model]] of inflation, supply-driven deflation was counteracted by [[demand-pull inflation]] and built-in inflation resulting from [[adaptive expectations]] and the price/wage spiral.
 
[[monetarism|Monetarist]] economists such as [[Milton Friedman]] argue against the concept of cost-push inflation because increases in the cost of goods and services do not lead to inflation without the government and its [[central bank]] cooperating in increasing the [[money supply]]. The argument is that if the money supply is constant, increases in the cost of a good or service will decrease the money available for other goods and services, and therefore the price of some those goods will fall and offset the rise in price of those goods whose prices have increased. One consequence of this is that monetarist economists do not believe that the rise in the cost of oil was a direct cause of the inflation of the 1970s. They argue that although the price of oil went back down in the 1980s, there was no corresponding [[deflation (economics)|deflation]].

In simpler terms, this is caused when cost of production rise and cause the price level to rise.

Adolf Hitler (German: [ˈadɔlf ˈhɪtlɐ] ( listen); 20 April 1889 – 30 April 1945) was an Austrian-born German politician and the leader of the Nazi Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP); National Socialist German Workers Party). He was chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945 and dictator of Nazi Germany (as Führer und Reichskanzler) from 1934 to 1945. He was at the centre of the founding of Nazism, World War II, and the Holocaust.
A decorated veteran of World War I, Hitler joined the German Workers' Party (precursor of the NSDAP) in 1919, and became leader of the NSDAP in 1921. In 1923, he attempted a coup d'état, known as the Beer Hall Putsch, in Munich. The failed coup resulted in Hitler's imprisonment, during which time he wrote his memoir, Mein Kampf (My Struggle). After his release in 1924, Hitler gained popular support by attacking the Treaty of Versailles and promoting Pan-Germanism, antisemitism, and anti-communism with charismatic oratory and Nazi propaganda. After his appointment as chancellor in 1933, he transformed the Weimar Republic into the Third Reich, a single-party dictatorship based on the totalitarian and autocratic ideology of Nazism. His aim was to establish a New Order of absolute Nazi German hegemony in continental Europe.
Hitler's foreign and domestic policies had the goal of seizing Lebensraum ("living space") for the Germanic people. He directed the rearmament of Germany and the invasion of Poland by the Wehrmacht in September 1939, resulting in the outbreak of World War II in Europe. Under Hitler's rule, in 1941 German forces and their European allies occupied most of Europe and North Africa. By 1943, Hitler's military decisions led to escalating defeats. In 1945 the Allied armies successfully invaded Germany. Hitler's supremacist and racially motivated policies resulted in the systematic murder of eleven million people, including an estimated six million Jews, and in the deaths of between 50 and 70 million people in World War II.
In the final days of the war, during the Battle of Berlin in 1945, Hitler married his long-time mistress, Eva Braun. On 30 April 1945, less than two days later, the two committed suicide to avoid capture by the Red Army, and their corpses were burned.
