Maybe what you're thinking about are wage increases that accompany rising productivity

No I'm not. Market based wage increases may or may not cause a temporary increase in prices. And even if they do, it's not inflation.

Inflation is caused by currency devaluation, government overspending, and stunted economic growth (caused by various forms of government over-regulation).
