I learned this in history a while back but when it comes to inflation people who benefit either way are merchants or business men. The reason why makes sense, since they have a product or service to sell if inflation happens they can just raise prices to keep up. Either way money is circulating around them so they are able to adapt to the change and that would have them with more money in their pockets.
How bout that Gini index
After seeing how the U.S. is in the mid to high 40's (2007ish) and with 1 being the complete like monopoly with one guy owning it all and such all I can say is at least it anit like communism right where a Dr. or uranium scientist gets as much as the dude cutting your grass or somewhere along those lines. That be a yeah and no idea but its only sounds good on paper. You need the rich people to invest and start business and compete with one another that how prices can be lowered for the consumer.

15 Things I've learned...
Aggregate is the supply is the total amount of goods and services produced throughout the economy.
A supply shock is an event that increases the cost of production for all or many firms.
To construct the consumer price index, the Bureau of Labor Statistics selects a sample of commonly purchased consumer items, called the market basket.
The worst degree of inflation is hyperinflation.
To measure price level economist construct a price index.
Frictional unemployment attribute to workers moving from one job to another.
Marginally attached workers are workers who once held productive jobs but have given up looking for work.
Census Bureau conducts a monthly study called the Current Population Survey. \
Unemployment rate is the most closely watched and highly publicized labor force statistic.
People who wanted jobs but have stop looking for work because of job related reasons are discouraged workers.
In the 90's the income gap was largest since WWII
Poverty thresholds are adjusted annually from change in the consumer price index.
To measure inequality in income economist plot a Lorenz curve.
The data used to plot a Lorenz curve is used to Compute the Gini index.
Heavy corporate downsizing in the 80's and 90's led to a large unemployment rate.

Post 18 I used cybraryman's link"http://cybraryman.com/economic.html" and on his webpage were helpful links on economics. It ranges from information about jobs in business to teaching the subject of economics trough useful sites. It even has price index and inflation caculators. These three sites were what I picked to use on the mid term.
On this site selecting 6-12 concepts will have terms and concepts available that we went over I find it useful to use.
http://ecedweb.unomaha.edu/home.cfm"
This link will take you straight to the lessons and from selecting a title on subjects like price index GDP things we covered the last couple chapters.
http://www.econedlink.org/lessons/economic-lesson-search.php?type=student
It's pretty straight foward in the information it provides I recommend using it as an overview first to break into the subject and the first two links to get into details about economics.

Explaining theories of business cycles
Post 17
The graph above is'nt really detailed, it's really simple and plain that it doesn't have any way of reading it. If you know how to read this...pat yourself on the back.
Now this one is straight to the point, simple, and it's enough to get to the point it is good. The only thing is that the business cycle is just more than a Recovery, expansion, downturn and recession.
This is the lord all mighty god lord when it comes to economic/ business cycle, not only is it straight to the point, easy to read, simple and detailed. This should be the foundation when it comes to teaching the cycle.

GDP = C + G + I + NX
NX = total nation exports - total nations imports
C= sum of spending
G= sum of government spending
I= sum of business spending/ investments

Economic indicators
Leading Coincident and lagging economic indicators
Leading indicators tell of changes before the economy reacts to the changes as an whole. "Leading indicators are used as a short term predictors of an economy."(wikipedia.org)
-stock market returns
-consumer expectations
-money supply
are leading indicators
Coincident indicators change around the same time the economy changes itself, it provides current information about the current economy.
-Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
-industrial production
-personal income
are Coincident indicators
Lagging indicators are changes after the economy has changed, the lag remains a few quarters of the year.
-unemployment rate
-average prime rate charged by banks
-manufacturing trade to sales inventories
are lagging indicators
