Mish, you include multiple redundant references to various things one could measure in terms of prices -- how inflation is measured will vary, but the definition does not. Inflation refers to a persistent change in prices - purchasing power of a currency is an extension of pricing that takes into account multiple currencies. There are two ways to see inflation, not 36 or whatever you care to dump into a list.

1. Inflation is a persistent rise in prices

2. Inflation is an increase in money supply

The second definition is rarely accepted because it is all but meaningless.
