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.

I mean, I don’t disagree with you on that. I didn’t think your first comment quite conveyed this nuance, and deflationary economies are terrible for everyone.

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

other countries did similar

Got any examples?
