Around my office we often talk about how if the average american understood how inflation actually works there would definitely be riots. People really have no idea, even very educated people. I explained inflation in the longest conversation I ever had with my father a few weekends ago. He was a very successful office pleb and smart as hell, but didn't understand it at all. By the end he understood and I think I saw a glimmer if worry in his face, I'm not sure I've ever witnessed him learn something new and react to it.
