Story of Inflation: An orphaned child

Inflation is the orphaned child of money. It has not been adopted by anyone so far and lacks culture and etiquette needed to become part of civil society. It's parent, apparently money who conceived it in unreasonable ecstasy and joy, abandoned it to be a wife of power in the society.
The orphaned child takes unchartered journey in highly underscored manner. Its journey intends to inflict injury to the civilised society that hated him very much since being conceived and equally on his mother who abandoned him. The wrath of inflation results in decline in his mother's value, namely, money.  However,  course of its actions and its trajectory hurts the poor and vulnerable unreasonably in comparison to rich and powerful who owns & comnands his mother. This period of wrath further results in landlord, bankers & lenders, fixed income earners loses while tenants, debtors and speculators stands to gain.  The policy makers try to a pacify the aggrieved and orphaned child but fails to get him lasting peace.
    According to Economists in general and Monetarists in particular, expansion in reach and influence of money results in inflation's anger.

Conditions necessary for Micro-credit to be a successful poverty reduction tool

 Poverty reduction remains a daunting task for policy makers’ world over. Out of quiver of many policies prescriptions available to policy makers is microcredit among the latest. However as it is noted by all the scholars worldwide that no single policy prescription is panacea  for reducing poverty and hence microcredit should be one of the policy prescription along with other in the poverty reduction programme.                 To make microcredit a successful poverty reduction tool we must use it simultaneously with other poverty reduction tools such as 1. Subsidised food grain distribution: Since poor people spend around 80 percent of their income on food and hence making available subsidised food grains will go a long way in increasing the purchasing power of the poor. This will further protect the poor from high market prices of food grains and will enable them to make prompt payment instalments to service their loans. 2.
