basically nominal is what you see listed, real value is when you adjust for inflation other wise purchase power

I got everything up until the last part. The final interpretation of what the real values mean in the example ALWAYS loses me. I get that he's saying the price level tripled but is it nominal values? And after converting to the 2002 dollars, the real price is actually less thus she spent less in real terms... hence why she got less "product" in a sense??? Is that correct? Lord help me.

Clear video! However, there is a little mistake in your video. If $200 in 2002 equals $66 in 2010, then your weight scale at 2:55 is incorrect. The $66 should be $33 (1/3). Just saying :)

Did you remember to multiply the (1/3) by 200? Accounting for inflation = inflation rate x nominal price, so 66 ~ (1/3) x 200
