The general answer is, of course, that inflation represents the change in the price level over time, and the calculation from the first answer is excellent.  The deeper answer relates to government policy, because, as economist Milton Friedman is famed for saying, "Inflation is everywhere and always a monetary phenomenon."  What he meant was that monetary policy by the government and/or central banks are the cause of inflation.

They would invest in a variety of markets, not just one, the risk would be hedged and spread among for example, Real Estate, Petroleum, Banking, Forestry, Bonds, Futures, this type of thing, the emerging markets that you mention are all thriving markets now, the volitility has more to do with inflation rather than interest rates. When a market is growing quickly as in the case of China which for 2007 forecasts almost double digit figures and Brazil forcasting 5% to 6% growth, the inflationary forces are what have to be controlled. Brazils elections were recently an eventful occaison but I did notice that the markets ( currency in particular) hardly flickered!  good sign of increased  stability really.

Macroeconomics is the economics sub-field of study that considers aggregate behavior, and the study of the sum of individual economic decisions. This is in contrast to microeconomics which is the study of the economic behaviour of individual consumers, firms, and industries.\n\nMacroeconomics can be used to analyze how best to influence government policy goals such as economic growth, price stability, full employment and the attainment of a sustainable balance of payments.\n\nMicroeconomics (literally, very small economics) is a social science which involves study of the economic distribution of production and income among individual consumers, firms, and industries. (Contrast macroeconomics.) It considers individuals both as suppliers of labour and capital and as the ultimate consumers of the final product. It analyzes firms both as suppliers of products and as consumers of labour and capital. It is the study of the behavior of individuals and firms that are using scarce resources. Scarcity refers to the fact that none of us as individuals or companies, can "have it all"—unlimited land, capital, labour, etc.\n\nOne of the goals of the field of microeconomics is to analyze mechanisms and market forces that establish relative prices amongst goods and services and allocate society's resources amongst their many alternative uses.
