I think that macro and meso inflations together combine as "fiscal" (government driven) inflation, whereas "micro" inflation may be characterised as a "monetary" (private banking sector driven) inflation.
I suspect that in a deficit-based economy at least hyperinflation may everywhere and always be a fiscal phenomenon.
Monetary inflation on the other hand, always leads to asset price bubbles, but I would be interested in recent examples of where these have led to hyper inflation - it seems to me that people borrowing against inflated assets is the sign of a deficiency of money, not a surfeit of it (Anglo Disease again).
