I think you’re right, I just think you’re tying together two concepts under an a assumption of forced inflation - which again is correct because we do force it every year but I think the distinction is important. We could reduce or increase inflation at the government level because it’s inherently controlled by the government.
But maybe this isn’t as helpful of a distinction as I think it is.
Yes, I do assume forced inflation, because under our current economic system that’s a given. Zero inflation or deflation would lead to huge economic instability and no govt in their right mind (ignoring Japan) would choose not to inflate the currency routinely. It just wasn’t very relevant to my original comment.
