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.

That means until the early 1900s or 1970s when inflation went into overdrive.
Huh what?

What a wide window, but I’d like to point out that the baby boomers generation happened right around this time.
Fertility rates and total population numbers are not the same thing.
