Higher inflation brings about higher interest rates.

However, higher interest rates can be arbitrarily applied in a controlled economy...such as we have with the Fed.

How does a business accommodate higher costs? One way is to raise prices.

I have money in the bank and higher interest rates are a net gain for me. I just won’t buy anything new and barter for the rest.
