This is an example of the Shoe-leather effect of inflation

Answer 2

Answer:

This is an example of the shoe leather cost

Explanation:

The shoe leather cost refers to the cost of the time and effort put to reduce the amount of cash to avoid losing the value of the money when there is a high inflation. In these circumstances, people try to buy things immediately or change the money to another currency as quick as possible because as time passes the currency loses its value and this is what Carlos is experiencing.
