Abstract

In this paper we intend to explain the foundations of the current inflationary process faced by the Argentine economy and in turn recommend courses of action to attack this phenomenon. In point two of the present work we propose the debate of ideas in terms of the origin of the current inflation. Basically, we present two opposite positions. On the one hand, there are those that explain the process from the structural hypothesis of inflation. On the other hand, we present the position that conceives inflation as a phenomenon associated with the Monetary Trilemma.
