  I’d love to see any evidence or logical arguments that an inflationary economy is worse than a deflationary one.

  Don’t you understand that artificially induced unlimited growth is bad? It’s not about inflation or deflation, but the outcome.

      That’s a myth spread by modern monetary theorists because they only understand the economy from an inflationary perspective. Economies worked fine for millennia without inflationary money.

        I don’t think local economies from millennia ago are similar enough to compare to modern global economies with our current population boom. I think we could for sure have a different approach if our population was stable or decreasing.
